Chateau Latour Martillac Rouge 2018

Château Latour-Martillac Rouge 2018 is a refined, classically styled Pessac-Léognan red, combining ripe dark fruit with cedar, graphite and the subtle smoky character associated with the appellation. Structured yet polished, it balances Cabernet-driven freshness with Merlot richness and fine-grained tannins, offering both immediate depth and strong ageing potential.

Appearance:

Deep ruby red with garnet highlights and a dense, polished core.

Aroma:

Layered aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and dark cherry are complemented by violet, cedar and graphite. Subtle notes of tobacco, warm spice and smoky earth add complexity.

Taste:

Medium to full-bodied and finely structured, with cassis, plum and black cherry supported by fresh acidity and firm, polished tannins. Savoury herbs, cocoa, cedar and mineral notes provide depth and balance.

Finish:

Long, elegant and persistent, with lingering dark fruit, graphite, tobacco and fine savoury tannins.

Food Pairing:

Excellent with roast beef, lamb rack, duck breast, braised short ribs, mushroom dishes or aged hard cheeses.
