Chateau Tour Maillet 2018

- Robert Parkers WINE ADVOCATE, Lisa Perrotti-Brown: "Deep purple-black colored, the 2018 Tour Maillet is a little cedary to begin, giving way to Black Forest cake, stewed plums and baked blackberries with hints of bouquet garni and scorched earth. Full-bodied, it has a firm, grainy texture and splash of mid-palate freshness lifting the dense fruit and leading to a lively finish."

- 95 Punkte JAMES SUCKLING: "Ripe dark fruit on the nose, as well as some blue-fruit, vanilla and toasty aromas. Iodine and tar, too. Full-bodied and juicy with firm, chewy tannins and a fresh finish. Savory. A traditional feel to this. Try after 2025."

- 17+ Punkte WEINWISSER: "Dunkles Purpurrot mit violetten Reflexen. Dichtes blaubeeriges Bouquet, helle Malznoten und würzige Cassis. Am dichten Gaumen mit reifen Tanninen und feinkörnigem Extrakt. Gut gelungen dieses Jahr, kann noch zulegen."

 - 91-93 Punkte JEB DUNNUCK: "Deeply colored, the 2018 Château Tour Maillet (Lagardère) is a ripe, fleshy, yet beautiful Pomerol that has classic blue fruits, smoked tobacco, and earthy aromas and flavors. With medium to full-bodied richness, gorgeous tannins, and both the sex appeal and purity of this terrific vintage, it’s going to be drinkable with just short-term cellaring and last for 15 years or more."
