Château Tour Saint-Christophe 2020 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

The nose is fresh, elegant and offers power (in finesse), concentration (In control) as well as a certain delicacy. It reveals notes of bright cassis, fresh/quite ripe blackberry, small notes of quite ripe strawberry associated with touches of blueberry, small bright black berries, hints of sense of the place (local biotope/Mediterranean), aromatic herbs as well as fine hints of Tabaco Badiane an imperceptible hint of nearly eucalyptus. On the mouth it is fruity, balanced and offers juiciness, freshness, a good definition, gourmandize, and acidulous frame, a fine tension, a small straightness, an airy power, a very nice multi-layer side in the density as well as a certain intensity. A nice freshness and concentration all in balance. Power in finesse and balance. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/bright cassis, small pulpy/bright black berries, small notes of raspberry associated with touches of bright redcurrant, hints of purple acidulous plum, fresh tabaco, star anis, cardamom as well as a fine hint of Cuben pepper and an imperceptible hint of nearly torrefaction and aromatic herbs. The tannins are massive, elegant, powerful and soft. A little chew at the end of the palate/persistence.
