justerini & brooks tasting note

Tour du Pin got the team quite excited. This St Emilion property is owned and managed by the Cheval Blanc team and their 2009 is stunning. There are beautiful ripe fruit aromas on the nose and suave fruit on the palate This is gently extracted is effortless and lacy, possesses great energy and focus, and is built upon velvety tannins. A really classy and seductive wine.

critic reviews

90+/100Robert Parker,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

This wine has closed down somewhat since I had it from barrel and exhibits a firm, earthy, mineral-laced style. Made from 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, the ripe black raspberry and blueberry fruit are present, along with some sandy, loamy soil notes. The tannins are sweet, but very elevated, and the wine rich and long but currently somewhat austere and needing bottle age. Give it 2 or 3 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 15+ years.
