A clear step up over past vintage, the 2015 Chateau Tour Saint Christophe checks in as 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, from tiny yields, that was brought up in 40% new French oak. This ripe, sexy Saint-Emilion offers a big, fleshy, full-bodied profile that carries lots of blackcurrant and blueberry fruits as well as notes of Asian spices, dried tobacco, and cedarwood. Despite being a rich, powerful wine, it has beautiful overall freshness and purity, no hard edges, and a great, great finish. It’s a killer bottle of wine to enjoy over the coming two decades or so.
