122. Château Latour-Martillac Blanc, Pessac‑Léognan “The 2020 Latour-Martillac Blanc has shut down since tasting from barrel, yet it opens with yellow plum, jasmine and light frangipane scents. I admire the precision here. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, quite taut and well defined. Real precision on the finish that drags you back for one more sip. This is a classy dry white Bordeaux that will give immense pleasure over a number of years. Drinking Window: 2024 - 2040.” 94 pts, Vinous 362322 $80 123. Château Olivier Blanc, Pessac‑Léognan “Château Olivier has turned out a classic 2020 Château Olivier Blanc that’s loaded with bright citrus, lime, and honeyed mineral notes, as well as some exotic floral nuances. It’s clean, medium-bodied, vibrant, and just a classic white from Pessac-Léognan that will $70 124. Château Reynon Blanc, Bordeaux “The 2020 Reynon Blanc has an attractive bouquet of grass clippings, Granny Smith apples and light peachy aromas. The palate is well balanced with an edgy, spicy opening and good weight. Quite saline, lively and energetic. A lovely sour lemon note wakes you up on the finish. Just a straight-down-the-line, delicious dry white Bordeaux. Drinking Window: 2022 - 2027.” (88-90) pts, Vinous 362356 $30 evolve for a decade.” 91 pts, Jeb Dunnuck 362635
