Chateau Enclos Tourmaline 2024

VINUM: "Mittelkräftiges Rubinrot, Purpurreflexe; ein Duft zum Eintauchen, klar und rein, verspielt, Veilchennoten, Johannisbeeren, Brombeeren und Schwarzkirschen; elegant am Gaumen, fokussiert, mit Spannung und einer erstaunlichen Dichte, bleibt dabei federleicht, ungemein frisch, Ein Ballett der Früchte, das tänzelt über die Zunge, seidige Tannine und eine knackige Säure stützen, sehr langer Abgang. Hervorragend."

JAMES SUCKLING: "Good depth for this difficult year, and the close-knit tannins are really attractive. Racy red and dark berries and plums, with a medium to full body and a very juicy, medium-long finish. 96% merlot and 4% cabernet franc."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Black cherries, chocolate, and black raspberries pop in the nose. The palate is bright, energetic, medium-bodied, and fragrant, with a dose of sweet cherries, topped with chocolate mint in the elegant finish. The wine is a blend of 96% and 4% Cabernet Franc. 13.5% ABV. Drink from 2027-2042."

JEB DUNNUCK: "Earthy red and black fruits, spicy wood, and liquid violet/floral notes all emerge from the 2024 Enclos Tourmaline. This riper, medium to full-bodied, straight-up sexy wine has plenty of mid-palate depth, a supple, layered mouthfeel, and outstanding length."

WEINWISSER: "dichtes Bouquet, Heidelbeerdrops, erkalteter Früchtetee. Am satten Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, guter Fülle, balancierter Rasse und energiegeladenem Körper. Im gebündelten, aromatischen Finale blaue Beeren, dunkle Mineralik und feinkörnige Adstringenz."

DECANTER: "Wild strawberries and roses on the nose, fragrant and so perfumed with a vivid pink rim. Juicy and supple, this has bounce and lift. Definitely ripe with gorgeously sweet cherries as well as cool blueberries ending clean and focussed. It’s a touch serious and lean, just in the acidity on the finish - almost bitter citrus - but this has lots of personality and is a fun wine as well as having power."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "A blend of 96% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc, the 2024 Enclos Tourmaline offers up a somber, dark bouquet of licorice, gentian, spices and smoke mingled with delicate oaky notes. Medium-bodied, firm and compact, it has good depth at the core framed by brittle tannins and a lively, energetic finish."
