This is also very ripe with hints of menthol adding top notes to the plum

(from both Charmes and Mazoyères in a roughly 50/50 proportion)

indeed to the point that it was unpleasant

This isn’t super-dense though I very much like the intensity and overall

There is excellent power and detail to the muscular

Latour Martillac other_regions_italy This is also very ripeThe 2015 Tour Martillac was impressive from barrel and that is translated into bottle. It has a much more attractive bouquet than the 2015 Olivier with crushed strawberry, briary and warm gravel aromas. The palate is medium bodied with grainy tannin, a fine bead of acidity, fresh and classic in style with an earthy and quite persistent finish. Excellent. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting. Neal Martin
