Tasting notes
Tasted blind at the Southwold 2012 tasting. The 2012 LaTour-Martillac Blanc has a clean, well-defined bouquet with citrus lemon, yellow flowers and light chalky scents. The palate is fresh and lively on the entry, bright with a touch of spice, greengage and gooseberry notes flowing towards the sustained finish. This is a delightful white Bordeaux from LaTour-Matillac. Tasted January 2016.

Orange marmalade, mango, tropical fruit and subtle hints of creme brulee and toasty oak appear in this medium to full-bodied, dry white. Drink it over the next decade. Wine Advocate.April, 2013
