It is a wine full of elegance and finesse, with lots of freshness and intense fruit. With a beautiful tannic structure, it can age for almost 20 years.Critics’ Tasting Notes:”Deep crimson. Plenty of dark, savoury fruit and thick chewy tannins. Really quite challenging now but there’s richness and depth of fruit to give the tannins time to soften.” Drink 2022-203015.5/20 points, Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson.com, October 2018″It’s impressive how even a small percentage of Petit Verdot can bring color and spice to a wine.That’s the case in this wine that is rich while also stylish, full of tannins as well as freshness. Drink from 2022.” 91/100 points, Roger Voss, WINE ENTHUSIAST, April 2019Château La Tour de By, Double Magnum, Cru Bourgeois Supérieur, Médoc, Bordeaux, France 2016</p>
