robust and very powerful flavors with nary a trace of the rusticity and rough tannins that young Richebourg often displays

Latour Martillac Blanc Size:12x750ml The wood has assertive swayThe 2014 La Tour Martillac Blanc has a fresh and quite vibrant bouquet with light red apple, fresh pear and granitic aromas. The palate is well balanced with fresh acidity, with good weight on the stem ginger, quite saline finish. This is certainly one of the better dry white Bordeaux in this vintage. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting. Neal Martin
