Alluring, with a hint of black tea that gives way quickly to dark plum and cherry preserve flavors lined with charcoal, tobacco and sweet bay leaf nuances. Puts on weight as it sits in the glass too, which always bodes well. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2031. 7,500 cases made.
The 2018 Tour des Termes has quite a punchy bouquet featuring upfront brambly red berry fruit, mint and sage aromas, well defined if not terribly complex. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, fresh and grippy, leading to a dense, charcoal-tinged finish that lingers. It is quite backward but I admire its cohesion and focus, so just afford it 2–3 years in bottle. Tasted twice with consistent notes.
