This has a nice touch of new wood that isn’t yet fully integrated on the nose, with fine spices, sweet blueberries and violets throughout. Quite fresh on the palate with higher acidity than many of its peers of this hot and dry vintage. The tannins are tight-grained and vertical with good vibration before the lengthy finish. Give it two more years to soften and dial in. 95% merlot and 5% cabernet franc. Drink from 2027.

Varietal Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Country France

France, often regarded as the heart of the wine world, boasts a rich history, diverse terroirs, and a captivating variety of grape varietals. From the renowned vineyards of Bordeaux to the picturesque landscapes of Burgundy, France offers a wine lover’s dream journey.

Appellation Pomerol

Pomerol, a distinguished appellation on Bordeaux's Right Bank, stands as a vinous jewel celebrated for its exceptional Merlot-dominant red wines. What makes Pomerol unique is its relatively small size, allowing for an intimate focus on individual vineyards and an emphasis on artisanal winemaking. Unlike many Bordeaux regions, Pomerol does not have a formal classification system, placing the spotlight on each estate's intrinsic quality and distinct terroir. Merlot thrives in Pomerol's clay-rich soils, crafting wines of opulence, velvety texture, and alluring plum and black cherry notes. Iconic châteaux like Pétrus and Le Pin showcase the pinnacle of Pomerol's winemaking prowess. The absence of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blends further accentuates the appellation's uniqueness. Pomerol wines are revered for their approachability in youth and the ability to evolve gracefully over time, exemplifying the timeless elegance and allure of this exceptional Bordeaux appellation.

Rocking levels of ripe red, blue, and black fruits, as well as truffly earth, violets, blood orange, and chocolate, all soar from the 2022 Enclos Tourmaline, another extroverted, sexy, full-throttle Pomerol. I love its balance on the palate, and it has ripe, polished tannins, full body, ample mid-palate depth, and a great finish. It's hard to resist today, yet this will benefit from 3-5 years in the cellar and shine over the following two decades.

The Wine Independent

This is not quite pure Merlot, as there is 5% Cabernet Franc blended in here. I like the sense of integration on the nose, which presents powdery dark fruits with scented oak notes of sandalwood and cedar, along with a little hawthorn freshness. This has real impact on the palate, with dark fruits, black cherry and black plum, but with tobacco and toast lift around the edges, a touch of barrel spice to it, but most of all a real sense of energy and freshness. The palate is supported by a fine-boned and well knit frame of tannins, taut and dense but not drying, which make their presence known throughout the palate into the finish, where they grip down more firmly. There is acidity and freshness too though. An imposing wine, but with a deft footprint. Tasted twice. The alcohol on the label is 13.5%.

Wine Advocate

Entirely crafted from Merlot situated between Le Pin and Trotanoy, the 2022 Enclos Tourmaline is a notable success this year. Wafting from the glass with aromas of dark cherries, flowers, iris and cassis, the wine is medium to full-bodied, concentrated, dense, layered and structured. Introverted and slightly austere and possessing a fleshy core of fruit and a long, racy finish, it will require some patience.

Vinous Media

The 2022 Enclos Tourmaline conveys a sense of coolness on the nose, well defined with black plum and just a touch of wild mint. The palate is medium-bodied with a smooth entry and fine acidity, although it does not quite deliver the complexity implied by the aromatics. There is a little austerity on the finish, yet it feels harmonious and focused. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting in London.
