Château Latour-Martillac 2012 shows ripe plum and blackcurrant layered with dark licorice and earthy graphite tones, all wrapped in a firm frame of tannin and fresh acidity. Medium to full in body and tightly knit, it’s more about depth and structure than immediate opulence, promising increasing complexity with time in bottle.

Château LaTour-Martillac is the grand vin of this historic Pessac-Léognan Cru Classé estate, typically a Cabernet Sauvignon–led Bordeaux blend (with Merlot and Petit Verdot) grown on deep Pyrenean gravel slopes above Martillac that give the wine its structure, minerality, and aging potential. Known for its balance of dark fruit, floral and spice notes with refined oak, it is one of the rare Graves properties classified for both red and white wines, and represents a benchmark style of elegant, ageworthy left-bank Bordeaux.
