James Suckling über den Chateau Tour Saint Christophe 2019 Saint Emilion:
1 Dec, 2021 – Beautiful, intense fruit, dark-earth and chocolate character on the nose. Full-bodied with great density and plush, fine tannins that give a fine-velvet texture. It’s extremely long, polished and sophisticated. Needs time to come together, but expressive and glorious. Fantastic relative value. 80% merlot and 20% cabernet franc. Drink after 2025.

From clay-rich soils opposite Troplong Mondot in the commune Saint Christophe des Bardes, the 2019 Tour Saint Christophe offers up demonstrative aromas of cherries, wild berries, sweet loamy soil, licorice and dark chocolate. Full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with an enveloping core of fruit, lively acids and ripe, powdery tannins, it's a strong effort in a crowd-pleasing style.

TThis estate has been delivering the goods for numerous vintages now, and the 2019 Château Tour Saint Christophe is another terrific wine. Ripe black cherries, black raspberries, graphite, new leather, and chalky minerality all define the nose, and it's medium to full-bodied, has a tight, straight, focused texture, ripe yet present tannins, and outstanding length. It doesn't have the mid-palate density or opulence of the 2018, but it’s more pretty, focused, and straight on the palate. Give bottles 4-5 years and enjoy over the following two decades.

The 2019 Tour Saint Christophe is a fabulous wine that marries fruit intensity and structure. Black cherry, graphite, dried herbs, menthol, licorice and spice give this driving, potent Saint-Émilion tons of character. Tour Saint-Christophe remains one of the greatest values in Bordeaux. Tasted two times.

The 2019 Tour Saint Christophe builds on the promise it showed from barrel. This sample was actually tasted at my home, where I afforded it a two-hour decant. It revealed precocious yet controlled blackberry and blueberry fruit scents, with that violet component still intact. The tannins have not lost any of their grippiness or assertiveness. This is a Saint-Émilion that is in for the long haul. Great potential.

Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Reife Pflaumen und schwarze Kirschen, Nuancen von Blaubeeren und Nougat, zarte tabakige Noten, kandierte Orangenzesten, facettenreiches Bukett. Komplex, engmaschig, rote Kirschen, frisch strukturiert, gut integrierte Tannine, mineralisch-salzig im Abgang, ein finessenreicher Speisenbegleiter, gute Zukunft, bereits antrinkbar, sollte aber noch gut fünf Jahre heranreifen dürfen.

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.

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.

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.

The full-bodied palate has seriously impressive freshness. featuring a firm. finely grained frame and loads of energetic black fruit layers. finishing long and spicy.
