Opaque blood red, slightly burgundy colour, a lot of (American?) Oak on the nose, leather, chewy tannins — 4 years ago
Much better day 2. Red fruit, leather, fairly light bodied, dry and balanced but not too complex. — 5 years ago
Real, real good. Very smooth, not very tannic, slightly fruity. — 6 years ago
Deep garnet purple in the glass. Abundant nose of cassis and graphite, echoed on the palate with a bit of additional black fruit. Medium acidity. Medium tannins. Lengthy, dark finish. Classic right bank Bordeaux that’s drinking very well now, but still has a few good years left. Filet with Bordelaise is a natural, but work your way out from there. — 6 years ago
Tour d’Argent. Tawny, heavy color in the glass. The Somm smiles. I smile. The room smiles. This is killer juice that opens with a fragrant bouquet of ripe bing cherries, earthly spice, some sois bois, and some Asian spice. I’ve had this wine probably 10+ times and this is easily the best of them. Silky smooth. The nose is sexual. Killer juice. Worth the price. — 6 years ago
This wine was excellent !! It paired well with many dishes and was fantastic on its own. — 7 years ago
2018 vintage. Second wine of Cru Classé Malescot Saint-Exupéry. Charming nose with ripe black cherries, raspberry jam and some floral hints. This medium-bodied, fruit-driven Margaux is drinking well already with silky tannin and good length. Not very complex, but a very charming wine indeed. Abv. 14%. Good value at less than half the price of the Grand Vin, even if I would rate the less expensive La Tour de Bessan (tasted alongside) higher. — 3 years ago
Blue and dark fruit with menthol, violets and slight notes of caramel and liquorice. That vivid and lush fruit is on thenpalate as well, a rich and full texture, envelopping and agreeable tannins make this wine approachable and impressive for that price, even if it’s not a grand right bank name.
Fruits noirs et bleus au nez, menthol, violettes et des notes légères de caramel et réglisse. En bouche ce fruit mur et éclatant se manifeste tout autant, une texture assez riche, pleine et des tannins enrobants et agréables. Impressionnant pour le prix sans être grand. 90-91 — 4 years ago
Great red wine with Christmas prime rib — 6 years ago
Young St. Emilion blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Red berries, plum and smoky notes. Medium to full bodied, chrisp acidity and some heat from alcohol. Still a little bit off, needs year or two to settle down. Don’t know can I wait so long for this very decent wine with excelent value. — 6 years ago
Good. Rich, dark cherry but balanced. Bought at Mitsukoshi for ¥5,000. — 6 years ago
Color : Red
Wine estate : Château Latour-Martillac
Designation : Pessac-Léognan
Name : Pessac-Léognan Grand Cru Classé
Country : France
Vivino : 4/5
Note : A purple dress, a floral and fruity nose on hints of prunes. A woody touch on the palate with long, organized and precise tannins. Being very dry, we feel correctly the complexity proposed and allows us a pleasant tasting.

Une robe violet, un nez floral et fruités sur des touches de pruneaux. Une touche boisée en bouche avec des tannins long, organisé et précis. Étant très sec, on sent correctement la complexité proposé et nous permet une dégustation agréable. — 7 years ago
Last vintage from Chateau de la Tour's 1910 vines in Clos Vougeat. Plenty of stuffing here, but gosh was it hard to drink. Thick, rich and dark fruited, with hints of spice in the sustained finish. Even matches the 11' Bordeaux on the table in intensity. At this stage, it's not a wine for me as there's little to no relief to all that muscle. I'm in no doubt it'll last the test of time and probably needs another decade to hit it's stride. — 3 years ago
Muy muy bueno — 5 years ago

Strolled into Trader Joe’s; the shelf was stocked with this. Couldn’t believe it. Picked up another half case. This is a phenomenal bordeaux and one of the best QPRs around. Haven’t tasted in a year and it’s just as memorable. Lots of great mushroom and sweaty gym socks with a dusty, tannic finish. Perfect example of a phenomenal wine at sub-$20 that drinks at 3-4x the price. — 6 years ago
Oak and spice aromas. Lots of oak. Darker red fruit and some black, lots of oak spice on the palate. Way too young right now. — 6 years ago
A great one — 7 years ago
