The 2023 Enclos Tournaline is especially potent in this vintage. A blast of dark cherry, plum, leather, spice and incense hits the palate first, before bright acids pull it all together on the close. This dense, full-throttle Pomerol packs a huge punch. The mix of parcels on both gravel and clay yields a Pomerol of notable depth. Tasted three times. 04/2024

The 2023 Enclos Tourmaline is far superior on the nose than its stablemate, La Patache, demonstrating more cohesion and purity, with attractive blue fruit and well-integrated oak. The palate is medium-bodied with lithe tannins. Fleshy and focused, this gently builds in the mouth toward a slightly sapid finish. This is a neatly crafted Pomerol. 04/2024

The 2023 Enclos Tourmaline is mostly Merlot with a small addition of Cabernet Franc and comes from a tiny 1.2-hectare parcel that was purchased by Peter Kwok in 2012. It's a gorgeous wine in the making, offering plnety of black raspberry and red plum-like fruit as well as ample floral, spicy, incense-like nuances. Medium to full-bodied, it shows the more mid-weight, juicy, elegant style of the vintage yet has a broad, expansive mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. 05/2024
