2009 La Tour-du-Pin, St-Emilion

Bought by Cheval-Blanc in 2006 and located next-door to the property. This has a beautifully scented nose of violets, cloves and ripe red cherries. The lovely fruit intensity on the mid-palate is framed by silky, ethereal tannins and a vein of acidity that make this wine both elegant and concentrated. Exquisitely balanced, with a persistent finish.

Robert Parker: 92-94 points (Wine Advocate 188)
