Chateau Latour-Martillac
Pessac-Leognan Sémillon Sauvignon Blanc


The wine of most interest to me in the Bordeaux masterclass. Savoury nose sporting notes like tomato leaves, bell pepper, clove, forest floor, cassis, and some oak toast. Full-bodied with sweet plush fruits and graphite notes, along with high, fine, and directional tannins. Enjoyed the complexity here and that the oak richness was in check, but it was still a tough glass to finish.

Falls flat but has a pleasant taste of brioche and fennel with med-high acidity.
