CHÂTEAU TOUR SAINT CHRISTOPHE Grand Cru Classé

JAMES SUCKLING: Iodine, crushed stone, salt, oyster shell, ink pot. Fascinating. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with a firm framing of fruit, with fine tannins and electric acidity. Exceptional. pH of 3.48 with just under 15% alcohol. Still thinking about this. ROBERT PARKER - THE WINE ADVOCATE: Exhibiting notions of dark berries, blackberries and licorice, the 2022 Tour Saint Christophe is medium to full-bodied and has an enveloping texture with a fleshy core of fruit and powdery tannins leading to a long, rather concentrated finish. This blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc from vines planted on clay-limestone soil is a real success. - William Kelley FALSTAFF: Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Schokolade, reife Herzkirschen, etwas Lakritze, feine Edelholznuancen, kandierte Orangenzesten, einladendes Bukett. Saftig, elegant, feine Kirschfrucht, finessenreich strukturiert, mineralisch-kalkig, kühler Stil, bleibt gut haften, zeigt Potenzial, gutes Reifepotenzial. - Peter Moser
