The first vintage under the helm of Peter Kwok, the 2012 Chateau Tour Saint Christophe sports a dense ruby/plum hue as well as a beautiful perfume of black cherries, blackcurrants, licorice, spice box, and chocolate, with plenty of that savory, loamy earth-like minerality that’s present in all of these wines. Gaining more complexity with time in the glass, it’s medium to full-bodied and has a wonderful sense of purity and elegance in its texture and tannins. It reminds me of the 2010 yet with more elegance.
