Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Latour Martillac has a spicy nose of cinnamon stick, cloves and aniseed with a core of red and black cherries and a waft of fragrant earth. The palate is medium-bodied with plenty of juicy fruit and a firm frame of fine-grained tannins with bags of freshness lifting the finish.

Peony and violet floral notes, raspberry and redcurrant fruits, tannins a little austere right now but this has great structure and depth to the flavours. Of the recent vintages, I recommend the 2014 for the next few years, and only then head to the 2015, which could do with a little longer in bottle to soften and open. 40% new oak.

Very dark crimson. So big it hasn't that much aroma! Smooth tannins and rather attractive inky savour. Good tension.
