95 Pts Neal Martin - Wine Journal |
"Tasted blind at the Southwold Bordeaux 2010 tasting. This is a great La Tour Martillac that must be one the finest releases from the estate in recent years. It has quite an elegant understated bouquet with autumn leaves infusing the black fruit profile, later tobacco and cigar box. Good vigour and class. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity on the entry. It is underpinned by good structure, with plenty of red and black fruit and an engaging delineated finish brimming with energy. There is some high quality terroir and fruit here. Tasted January 2014." (01/14) |
93 Pts James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com |
"I love the mid-palate to this young and attractive red, with silky tannins and alluring mineral, berry and stone character. Enchanting." (04/11) |
93 Pts Wine Enthusiast |
"This is an austere, structured wine. Its tannic framework currently dominates, giving the impression of a firm wine. It feels like classic Bordeaux, upright and dense. This makes for a wine that will need several yearsâ aging. -RV" (05/13) |
92 Pts Wine Spectator |
"Dense, but supple along the edges, offering a packed core of cassis, blackberry and black cherry fruit. The lovely licorice, dark tobacco and violet notes glide to the finish, which shows solid, latent grip. Best from 2015 through 2025. 12,500 cases made. -JM" (03/13) |
90+ Pts Robert Parker - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate |
"Abundant notes of spicy oak, elegant black currants and rich fruitiness along with hints of forest floor and damp earth are followed by a medium to full-bodied wine with sweet tannin and the classic Pessac-Leognan/Graves characteristics of tobacco leaf and smoke. Deep fruit, moderate tannin and a long finish give this wine enough potential to last for up to two decades or more." (02/13) |
Description:
"Classified growth since 1953, the Latour Martillac Estate got its name from the Tower gracing the main courtyard, vestige of a small fort built in Martillac in the 12th century by the forefathers of the famous philosopher and vine grower Montesqueu. Edouard Kressmann, wine merchant in Bordeaux since 1871, drew his attention on this estate in particular for the quality of its white wines. His eldest son, Alfred bought the estate in 1930, and developed the red vineyards with his son Jean, on the gravelly summits of the Martillac village. Together they designed the original label, with gold and sandy stripes, that decorate the bottles since 1934."
"The red wine of that particular year was even chosen, by the Wine and Spirit Benevolent Society of London for the coronation banquet of his majesty's George VI, King of England, in 1936. Today, Tristan and Loic Kressmann, Jean Kressmann's youngest sons, helped by some of the best wine specialists of the Bordeaux region, carry on the family tradition to make the most out of this true region of the Graves." - Winery
