Beskrivelse
Denne Château Tour des Termes er lavet på et blend af 60 % of Merlot, 30 % of Cabernet Sauvignon, 5 % of Cabernet Franc og 5 % Petit Verdot
Vinen har været lagret i 15 måneder på franske barriques, heraf 50% nye.
Den har en fremragende mørk rubinrød farve med lilla nuancer.
Château Tour des Termes 2016 er en ambitiøs vin, der har både frugt og struktur.
Duften er udtryksfuld, kraftig, dyb og smukt defineret med fine noter af viol, jordbær, blåbær, solbær, kaffebønner, cigarkasse, chokolade, urter og vanilje.
På ganen er vinen elegant, intens med noter af solbær, mørke kirsebær, friske laurbærblade og grusede mineraler. Vedvarende eftersmag med fine nuancer og fløjlsbløde tanniner.
En fremragende Saint-Estèphe til en lækker pris!
En stor andel af merlot i kombination med kanonårgangen 2016 giver imidlertid i Château Tour des Termes en dejlig drikkeoplevelse allerede nu uden at give køb på lagringspotentialet.

Owned by the Anney family, this 37-acre property has made a dense, tannic wine in the traditional mold of Saint-Estèphe. The fruit comes through the tannins, ripe with black-currant flavors and acidity to give a fresh edge. With its tannins, the wine will need to age. Drink from 2024

The sweet cassis fruit, wrapped around the full tannins, helps this powerful and well-structured St.-Estèphe to come off as only moderately dry. The finish is supple enough to drink now or hold. A blend of cabernet sauvignon and merlot.

The 2016 Tour des Termes has a classic blackberry, cedar and briary scented bouquet that demands some encouragement from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin, well judged acidity, quite natural and elegant in style with a persistent and disarmingly pure finish. Bravo - this is a great Tour des Termes. Tasted at the Cru Bourgeois tasting in London.

The 2016 Tour de Termes is very nicely done. Pliant and supple, with lovely aromatic complexity and tons of character, the 2016 is quite expressive today. This mid-weight, airy, gracious Saint-Estèphe should drink well for the next handful of years or so. At times, the 2016 feels a bit narrow, but there is just enough depth to knit things together.

Plenty of dark fruit here, and there’s a solid core of it within the center palate. Hints of licorice amidst the blackcurrant character. Full body and a lovely center palate.

The 2016 Tour des Termes, one of Hubert de Boüard's consultancies, has a perfumed and quite floral bouquet, although I would like more "Saint Estephe" to be expressed. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin. There is good backbone here, fresh from start to finish with impressive structure on the finish. It needs to develop more length on the aftertaste, but everything bodes well for a very fine Tour des Terms.

Sleek, with a mix of red and black currant fruit that races along, laced with a singed mesquite note. A light tarry echo shows on the finish.

Château Tour des Termes
Château Tour des Termes er et familiedrevet slot i 5. generation og drives i dag af Christophe Anney.
Slottet råder over 15 hektar marker fordelt på to terroirs: udtalt grusholdig jord (fra den nærliggende Gironde-flod) men også en mere lerholdig jordbund.
Tour des Termes er en ægte ”teroirvin”, og slottet regnes blandt de bedste og mest ambitiøse i Saint-Estéphe. Denne topanmeldte ”Cru Bourgeois” er familien Anneys prestigiøse ”Grand Vin”.
