Château La Croix-Toulifaut 2010

(Translated from the French) At the head of this château is one of the many Corrèze families that have become key players in the Libournais winegrowing area. The estate is named after an ancient cross along the Pilgrim's Way to Santiago de Compostela known in Occitan as tot li falt, which means 'all succumb'. The many hikers who still walk these roads today can also succumb to the charms of this deep ruby 2010, rich in oaky aromas with spicy and cocoa accents. The palate reveals a firm yet fine structure with strong but stylish oakiness that will soften with two or three years of cellaring. Score - 1 Stars (out of 3). (Guide Hachette, 2014) 375 mL bottle
