Château Latour-Martillac 2021

The 2021 Latour-Martillac has an attractive nose: brambly red fruit, loam and light cedar scents. Maybe conservative in style, yet it conveys purity and terroir. The palate is medium?bodied with grainy tannins and fine acidity. A slightly more sinewy Pessac-Léognan, yet it coheres in the glass. Its substance suggests that it will repay bottle age. Since the wines are now released onto the market at maturity, I will taste the wines from this First Growth either later during their barrel maturation or preferably when they are finished. Drinking Window: 2028-2048. (Antonio Galloni,vinous.com)
