Latour Martillac 2016 (750ML)

93 Points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2016 Latour Martillac is medium to deep garnet-purple in color with warm plums, kirsch and redcurrant jelly on the nose with touches of bay leaves, iron ore and black soil. Medium-bodied with a well-sustained mid-palate of muscular fruit, it has a firm backbone of fine-grained tannins and wonderful freshness, finishing very long." 11/18

"93-94 Points, James Suckling: ""Dense and chewy young wine with stone, blackberry and blueberry character. Full and chewy. Shows potential. Another 2015?"" 4/17"

90 Points, James Molesworth, Wine Spectator: "Solid, with a juicy yet restrained core of dark currant and blackberry compote flavors that should unwind nicely with modest cellaring thanks to nicely embedded brambly grip and dried tobacco leaf, anise and tar notes that run through the gutsy finish. Best from 2021 through 2026. 11,800 cases made." 3/19
