Had this on New Year’s Eve last night with Oysters Rockefeller- went very well with that but if feels like the 2018 vintage is speaking more and more here? More dark than previous bottles and also less fruity and charming. Not sure they(the 2018 of this) wil age as well as I thought initially

Colour: medium(-) gold Nose: medium(+) intensity, secondary, youthful. Lemon, mandarin. Peach, nectarine. Passionfruit, pineapple, maybe mango. Gooseberry. Mint leaves, tonic water. Wet stones. Cedar/splintery oak, vanilla, caramel. Palate: dry, medium acidity, medium alcohol (13,5%), medium(+) bodied. Medium length finish, medium(+) intensity. Lemon, mandarin. Peach, nectarine. Passionfruit, pineapple, maybe mango. Gooseberry. Mint leaves, tonic water. Wet stones. Cedar/splintery oak, vanilla, caramel, cream. Touch of phenolic drying character, maybe from the oak. Conclusions: (good to) very good (esp. on day 2). Can drink now, but suited to further ageing. Seal: natural cork DAY 2: maybe even better after being left open in the fridge overnight. Oak is still prominent, but a bit less overt than yesterday. Stone fruit and pineapple have come even more to the fore. Really nice!

Well...possibly the best vintage of this property I have tasted , thus far.....after reviewing 2014,15, 16 and '17. On nose: vibrant meyer lemon and white grapefruit. On palate: strong follow through of above flavour notes, in addition to quinine, fresh thyme, vanilla/ oak, faint coriander, and a ghost of carmelized tangerine peel. All delivered on a full, almost rich body( but bone dry) The oak and acidity weave together with fine balance, in glass the colour is a vibrant yellow ring gold, with solid legs.....decanted for 2 hours, and at 5 years of age is showing very well....with a decade or more to soften and evolve....a go to wine for Salmon, Halibut, Sea Bass or roast Chicken.

Delicious white Boudreaux. Lots of tropical fruit, citrus and vanilla. Not overly acidic and medium body. I really enjoyed this wine. Could benefit from some age but is pretty tasty now.

An outstanding wine. Fruit driven bordeaux. Tropical notes; pineapple, passion, citrus. Open and available now. For early drinking, not for extended cellaring.

Light golden. A nose with grass, wet dog and a fair bit of tropical fruit. Good body with plenty of bite. Not yet integrated, but showing plenty of promise. Good wine, on the brink of very good.

Typical Bdx Blanc with expressive aromas of Sauvignon Blanc, peaches (Semillon) and toast. Broad shouldered and ripe in the mouth. Impressive, but lacks some elegance.

So much tropical fruits on the nose. On the palate, clean and light acidity, pineapple, lemon, faint hint of minerality. Refreshing, but not sure if it is better than something like Spottswoode sauvignon blanc and spottswoode is better. QPR is just ok.

Very light pale yellow On the nose it's zesty, lemon, passion fruit and tropical notes. Nice acidity, dry and lengthy with fine salty, shell like minerals on the finish. A nice blend of Sauvignon blanc (54%) and Sémillon (46%)

Farge Fin frisk lyse gul, skjær av grønntoner Lukt av sitrus , vegetaler toner , eggehvite, fersken. Smaker friskt, fersken, vegetaler toner, saftig, kraftig med bra lengde og med punsh. Flott vin! Foreslår servering kaldere ved ung årgang

Pale straw with silver like rim. Fragrant, lots of tropical fruits both on nose and palate. Intriguing salinity countered by pineapple and sea shells. Lots of texture and depth. With aeration, more body and subtle tannins comes out suggesting substance to age in the cellar. While this wine will age, it's delicious right now as well. Subtle and classy. Like! 93-94+

Fresh and juicy with a beautiful balance between the pineapple, pomelo, honeysuckle, lemon and crushed rock character. The wine was made blending 54% Sauvignon Blanc and 46% Semillon.

Citrus, flowers and a background note of pineapple show up in the nose. On the palate, this is bright, crisp, forward and juicy. The wine was made blending 54% Sauvignon Blanc and 46% Semillon.

Just lovely but perhaps slightly more reticent and a bit less exotic than the last bottle. Is this entering a more closed phase ?

En Primeur campaign for the 2022 vintage Day Seven (Bordeaux): Medium minus intensity aromas of gooseberry, cream, green apple, sweet spice. Softly engaging and finishes slightly bitter, a little textured burr, fruit is slight muted.

shows the warmer vintage, a little less concentration and less freshness. lacking precision, would have hoped for more acid

Intenst av urter, nesle og kanskje pære. Grønt og syrlig med litt fedme i munnen. Gress i utgang.

Probably the best young Latour-Martilliac I have tasted so far - so juicy and balanced - simply our favorite from
Bordeaux

The 2018 UGCB tasting Amsterdam 6/21/2021 (Amsterdam, Amstel Boathouse): More accessible than the Domaine de Chevalier, soft spices, fraicheur, a hint of mint and tasty, very tasty.

Amsterdam UGCB Tasting (Amstel Boathouse, Amsterdam, NL): Actually this is quite drying, with substantial bitters and a distinct lack of fruit. Feels hollow.
