Château La Tour de Bessan 2019

A dark nose full of ripe blackcurrants. This has a nice energy to it, juicy black fruit and an undercurrent of liquorice and minty tones. There is drive and the fruit feels svelte and well worked. Approachable and one to drink soon. I like the really upfront juiciness of this with a high toned, high acid lift on the finish. A nice perfume and elegance too. Lovely. Drinking window: 2023-2035. Score - 92. (Georgina Hindle, decanter.com, Jan. 4, 2022) A dark nose full of ripe blackcurrants. This has a nice energy to it, juicy black fruit and an undercurrent of liquorice and minty tones.
