Anmeldelser af Château Tour des Termes St-Estèphe Cru Bourgeois 2020

95/100 Forbes
"A robust funnel of black and red fruit aromas, soft and luscious with also some gorse and sage. In the mouth this is a clear, clean, precise funnelled tunnel of deep black fruit flavors—clear and attention getting as a coastal blast of fresh air. Chewy chocolate chips, raspberries and red plums blasting their energies. Attack of chocolate chips wrapped around red cherries followed by a harmonious mid palate of taut tannins, lean acidity, velvety fruit, mocha wafers and a finish of lemon drops and menthol. Complex, attention grabbing, succulent and well layered. Pair with blackened salmon, goulash or a soy rice bowl with chunks of roasted chicken."

94/100 Andreas Larsson, Tasted
“Nice purity and intensity, floral dark fruit, violet, cassis, black cherry with fine oak and a mild oak derived spiciness. The palate is dense and concentrated, a wealth of youthful but ripe tannin, fine oak integration digest and fresh dark fruit flavours and a very long powerful finish.”

93/100 Markus Del Monego MW
“Well structured with rich character and convincing length, juicy fruit and ripe tannins.”

92-93/100 Vert de Vin Magazine
“The nose is fruity, fresh, bright and offers a nice definition, freshness and brightness of the fruit. It reveals notes of pulpy blackberry, fleshy strawberry, small notes of fleshy cherry associated with touches of violet as well as fine hints of liquorish, a fine hint of camphor and a discreet hint of toasted. The mouth is fruity, fresh, elegant, very discreetly tight and offers a nice finesse of the grain, freshness, gourmandize, an acidulous frame as well as a nice juicy/fresh fruit, On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/fresh blackberry, bright strawberry, small notes of small crushed red berries associated with touches of lilac, cornflower, vanilla and a discreet hint of hazelnut. Good length. The tannins are precis and finely mellow.”

92/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
“Deep in color, the wine is loaded with black and blue fruit, chocolate, black raspberries and spice on the nose and palate, finishing with layers of round, ripe, sweet, fresh black and red fruits with a creamy finish.”

“A very fine Tour des Termes”

92/100 Izak Litwar, Great Bordeaux Wines
“Robust and vibrant on the palate with luscious fruit and finely grained tannin, juicy and terroir-driven, complex, and lengthy finish. Terrific performance.”

91/100 VV Wine
“Fine fragrance, herbal spices, stone, floral notes, dark cherries, cassis and RauChâteau On the palate, robust, juicy, straightforward and again with a lot of character, it has precision, has a lively effect, the tannins are of very good quality and the acidity is right. Balanced, elegant and with a lot of terroir character in the finish. It's fun and will mature well. Bravo!”

91/100 James Suckling
“Notes of ripe berries, toasted cloves, cardamom, cocoa and grilled herbs. Some tree bark, too. Medium-bodied with supple and sleek texture, firm tannin structure and a succulent fruit character. Flavorful, polished finish. 60% merlot, 30% cabernet sauvignon, 5% cabernet franc and 5% petit verdot.”

91/100 Falstaff
“Deep ruby, opaque core, purple rim. Black cherry nose with a hint of cassis, fine tobacco spice and fresh orange zest background. Medium body, fine blackberry fruit, nuances of plums and nougat, integrated tannins, mineral-salty finish.”

91/100 Decanter
“The tannins grip on pretty tight from the first moment, with wild hedgerow, baked earth, rose petal and raspberry leaf flavours. As it opens up, sweet black cherry and cassis fruits arrive and there are touches of bitter coffee grounds on the finish but this has nuance and personality. Contains all four classic Médoc varieties - the two Cabernets, Merlot and Petit Verdot.”

91/100 Wine Spectator
“Solid, with a winey core of gently steeped red and black currant fruit backed by hints of warm pebbles, lilac and iron. Slightly taut in feel, with nice focus. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.”
