power and weight yet no heaviness as the acid/fruit balance is impeccable

Second wine of Valandraud

Latour Martillac Blanc other_regions power and weight yet noThe 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
