Tasting notes
This is gorgeous, displaying beautiful aromatics, juicy citrus and white peach, clear complexity on the nose that immediately makes you anticipate the texture and the acidity on the palate. Seems to hang in suspension in mid air, giving that feel of being timeless, no great hurry to drink it yet, has plenty of air beneath its feet. Tertiary notes for sure but balanced by freshness and acidity, and still with so much plesure to give.

The 2013 LaTour Martillac Blanc has a grassy, lime and gooseberry-scented bouquet, the Sauvignon Blanc in charge and driving the aromatics. The palate is crisp and fresh on the entry with a pleasant saline entry, a touch of bitter lemon and a vibrant, quite sustained finish that just attenuates slightly, though I suspect that will be addressed with bottle age. Bunker this in your cellar for 3 or 4 years before reaching for the waiter's friend.
