Wonderful polish to the tannins, with a creamy and velvety texture. Full-bodied and dense with lots of flavor and length. - James Suckling
The 2022 Château Lespault-Martillac is mostly Merlot but includes 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot. It has beautiful purity in its ripe red and blue fruits as well as classic Graves smoked earth, tobacco, graphite, and spice aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it's nicely balanced, has quality tannins, and a great finish. At the very least, it will be an outstanding wine and could be a real superstar of a 2022. Tasted twice. - Jeb Dunnuck
The 2022 LespaultMartillac is a bold, exuberant wine. Succulent dark cherry, plum, licorice, spice and mocha are all dialed up in this 60% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon blend from a warm, early-ripening site in the commune of Martillac. This exuberant, fleshy red is an absolute delight. Tasted two times - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
Evoking aromas of oak, spices, ripe dark berries and licorice, the 2022 Lespault-Martillac has a supple and enveloping, seamless and firm palate, with velvety tannins on the finish. This is a blend of 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Sauvignon. - William Kelley, Wine Advocate
