2014 Château Latour-Martillac, Pessac-Leognan

This property is a sleeping beauty of the Graves district, and one of only six estates in Bordeaux to be a Classed Growth for both its white and red productions. In 2014, the blend consists of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, with 7% Petit Verdot. With bottle-age it has taken on complex, abundantly fruity, spicy aromas. There is lovely purity from start to finish, with underlying depth of fruit and superb harmony. Here is a classy, well balanced, attractive wine with excellent length and pedigree.
