I loved the 2019 Château Latour-Martillac and I under-rated it from barrel. Revealing a dense ruby/plum color as well as a gorgeous bouquet of blackcurrants black cherry smoked tobacco gravely earth and chocolate it hits the palate with full-bodied richness a round layered mouthfeel supple tannins and one heck of a finish. It's beautifully done and will cruise for 25+ years in cold cellars. It needs plenty of air if drinking any time soon.

The 2019 Latour-Martillac was a little perplexing from the barrel samples that I received a few months back. Now in bottle here is the Pessac-Léognan I know with ample blackberry cedar black olive and light marine scents on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit quite fleshy but still nicely structured and showing fine backbone on the sappy white-pepper- and sage-tinged finish. Now this is promising.

Owned by the Kressmann family a long-established Bordeaux negociant this wine has ripe black fruits and dusty tannins. Both rich and structured this wine needs aging and will be ready from 2026.
James Suckling: 92 Points
This shows some ripe blackcurrants blueberries nut shells chocolate and crushed stones. Sleek and juicy with medium body and fine chewy tannins. Lingering ripe berries on the palate with a firm finish. Tight now. Cabernet sauvignon and merlot. Drink after 2025.
Wine Spectator: 90 Points
This compact yet accessible wine is juicy offering a solid burst of steeped plum and black currant fruit laced with black licorice and ending with a tarry note. Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2029.
