Vinum: Dieser Wein beindruckt jedes Jahr, da macht dieser 2025er keine Ausnahme; komplex, verspielt, floral, mit reifer Kirschfrucht, Pflaumen, darüber getrocknete Minze, das ganze mineralisch unterlegt; der Auftakt ist fruchtig, mit leicht cremiger Textur, am mittleren Gaumen wird der Wein straffer und strukturbetonter, zupackendes Tannin, frische Säure, kräftig, dabei elegant, mit langem, würzigem und salinem Finale. Ein Enclos Tourmaline, der reifen kann, ja muss."

Jane Anson: This has the intensity and the structure of the vintage, matched by a ton of juice and black fruits, orange peel, black chocolate, slate, crayon. Great potential, if lacking a little in the real luscious tannic quality that you get in Pomerol in the best vintages. Vignobles K, JC Meyrou director. Harvest September 4 to 17. 27 hl/ha yield. 3.51 pH. 100% new oak."

Decanter: Dark bramble fruit and soft herbal edges on the nose - some dark chocolate and cocoa powder. Tannins are at the fore but this is ripe and fleshy with plenty of the texture coming from the fruit. Ends clean and grippy with a real lovely juiciness as well as wet stone saltiness. Easy to like this. A yield of 18lh/ha."

Jeb Dunnuck: A ripe, perfumed, and sexy Pomerol, the 2025 Enclos Tourmaline is based on 96% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc that's being raised 14 months in 100% new barrels. Blue fruits, candied violets, chocolate, and graphite all define the aromatics, and on the palate, it has integrated acidity, terrific balance, and outstanding length. Hitting 14.8% alcohol, I love its overall balance as well as its concentration. It's one of the more satisfying, sexy wines in the appellation."

The Wine Cellar Insider: Flowers, cherries, licorice, chocolate-mint, and plums fill the aromatic profile. On the palate, the wine is plush, polished, and creamy. The fruits are ripe, sweet, deep, and long. There is good energy in the elegant, vibrant finish. Harvesting took place September 4 - September 17. The wine is a blend of 98% and 2% Cabernet Franc. 14.5% ABV. Yields were 27 hectoliters, per hectare. Drink from 2029-2050."
