The 2014 Chateau Tour Saint Christophe is pure class and shows the elegant, balanced style of this vintage beautifully. A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, its deeper ruby/purple color is followed by a great nose of blackcurrant and black cherry-like fruits as well as notes of leafy tobacco, violets, truffle, and hints of damp earth. It shows the medium-bodied style of the vintage on the palate, yet has impressive concentration as well as mid-palate depth, great tannins, and nicely integrated acidity, all of which come together nicely on the finish. This classic, balanced Saint-Emilion is approachable today yet will evolve for another 15+ years or more in cold cellars.
