James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Tour Saint Christophe 2019 Saint Emilion im Juni 2020:This is tight with finesse and focus. Minerally and salty with an ultra-fine palate and polished tannins. It goes on and on and on. Strength and finesse at the same time. 80% merlot and 20% cabernet franc.
Neal Martin bewertet den Chateau Tour Saint Christophe 2019 Saint Emilion im Juni 2020:The 2019 Tour Saint Christophe was picked from 27 September until 15 October at 37hl/ha. Matured in 40% new oak. this has an incredibly concentrated bouquet that needs to shrug off a little reduction when I taste it. Layers of blackberry and blueberry. wilted violets and orange rind burst from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with juicy ripe grippy tannins that frame the layers of dense black fruit tinged with allspice and graphite. It is a Saint-Émilion clearly built for the long-term. powerful and uncompromising. perhaps one that will be in need of cellaring for several years before it becomes approachable.
Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Tour Saint Christophe 2019 Saint Emilion im Juni 2020:The 2019 Tour Saint Christophe is a broad. powerful wine that captures all of the intensity typical of this sector of Saint-Émilion. Black cherry. espresso. chocolate. licorice. graphite and dark spice give the 2019 a decidedly somber. brooding feel. There is plenty to look forward to here - that much is clear.
