"Red plums, blackberries, mocha and violets on the nose. Some spices, too. It’s full-bodied with tight tannins. Savory on palate with a fleshy texture and a medium, flavorful finish. Try after 2023." - James Suckling
"Full bottle 1,292 g. 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot. 25-year-old vines. Cold pre-fermentation maceration. Malo in barrel. Aged 12–16 months in barrel, 70% new. Dark crimson. Oak dominates the nose in cedar and spice but the Cabernet Sauvignon dominance shows in the black fruit at the core. Dry, firm, chewy and really well balanced despite the foregrounded oak at the moment. Powerful yet harmonious. Chewy and long. (JH) - Jancis Robinson "The 2018 Tour Sieujean is a lesser-known Pauillac that I have followed closely for several years, since it can sometimes overperform, as it has in this vintage. It has a bright bouquet of blackberry and raspberry fruit laced with cedar and mint, showing good delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins and beautifully integrated oak, and harmonious and elegant on the finish. If you want to spend money on an expensive Pauillac, please do. If you don’t, you know where to come." - Vinous |
