Château Latour-Martillac 1998

Latour-Martillac is a Bordeaux producer in the Pessac-Léognan region in the north of Graves. It makes Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant red blends as well as a dry white wine led by Sémillon. It was named a Classed Growth in the 1959 Classification of Graves and is one of the few producers to be named for both its red and white wines. Cabernet Sauvignon makes up roughly 60 percent of the vines with some Merlot and a small amount of Petit Verdot. This 1998 is fully mature, showing lovely secondary and tertiary notes of tobacco, cedar, mushrooms and graphite.
