Revue du Vin de France : 91-93/100 « Mesuré, distingué, toujours sobre dans son expression mais ne manquant ni de profondeur ni de nuance, l’échantillon garde le cap stylistique de la propriété. La matière prend possession de la bouche sans insistance mais en déployant une élégante plénitude. La saveur s’exprime avec une grande clarté, le fruit possède de la fraîcheur et de l’intensité, même si la finale n’est pas des plus persistantes. »
Bettane & Desseauve : 92-93/100 ♥ Coup de cœur « Bien constitué, corps ferme, tannin non agressif qui va continuer à se fondre, il est conforme à son style habituel et réussi. »
Le Point : 17/20 « Fruits rouges, mûre, sureau, bonne matière, bouche fraîche, riche, tanins veloutés, enrobés, bois de réglisse, finale relevée, épicée. »
Galloni : 90-92/100 « The 2023 Latour-Martillac is a very promising wine. Dark red-toned fruit, gravel, incense and pressed rose petal lend notable complexity. What impresses me most about the 2023 is the quality of the tannin, something that has been penalizing at times in the past. There's a good bit of structure, but it is nicely integrated. Sweet floral and spice notes lift the finish. Terrific. Tasted two times. »
Martin : 88-90/100 « The 2023 Latour-Martillac has a more straightforward, less nuanced bouquet than some of its peers at the moment. It does not quite engage the senses as I would have hoped. The palate is medium-bodied with quite assertive tannins matched by a crisp acidity thread, though again, the finish feels a little hard and muscular. I will be prudent with my score for now. »
