Note di degustazione
The 2016 Latour-Martillac has a similar bouquet to Bouscaut '16: dark berry fruit, a touch of wild mint and cedar. Quite Pauillac-like in style. The palate is medium-bodied with powdery tannins, fine acidity, cohesive, with black pepper towards the finish. Enjoy over the next decade. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.

A superb vintage all over Bordeaux, and absolutely one that you should be searching out with the Crus Classés de Graves. You can wait for this to soften for sure, because the tannins are pretty racy right now, squaring up to the blackcurrant and blackberry fruit rather than cradling it, but there is such a charm to its confidence that I am pretty tempted to say go for it now with a few hours in a carafe. Liqourice, cocoa beans, crème de cassis, espresso and a ton of brambled autumnal fruits. 40% new oak
40% Sémillon. Tasted blind. Rich on the nose with lanolin flavours but good acidity on the palate and a dry finish. Classic and ambitious. Long. One of the more youthful among these 2016 white bordeaux. GV (JR)
