Honestly I find these wines quite odd. I'm not sure I can totally get behind them. They are unique but always have what I can only describe as an 'interesting' non- traditional profile. Almost a sous-voile, sherry thing going on. It's not an off bottle either because I've had these before. Doesn't strike me as something from Ambonnay either.
Don't get me wrong, it is a good wine for sure. There is good structure. Perhaps a bit too lean for my liking. I don't know, I just don't seem to get it maybe.

2007 Château Latour-Martillac Blanc

Absolutely fantastic! Deep golden color was a concern but the wine was sublime and fresh. Notes of lemon, ginger, damp hay, toasted marshmallow and flint. Massive attack and long persistent finish. I wish we decanted this
Significant wine to me since I remember tasting it in 2008 during my first trip to Bordeaux En Premieur. We were poured a 1995 La Tour Martillac Blanc at dinner (at the Chateau) and I remember how much I enjoyed that particular wine and felt like it was so young for an 'old wine' (13 years old). When we opened this 2007, I realized that this particular wine was 17 years old and it reminded me a lot of that 1995 I had way back in 08'. I will continue to buy this wine because I think it is a fabulous wine and a fabulous value at around $45
