Pomerol.
100% Merlot.
Enclos Tourmaline is a wine estate located in the Saint-Émilion appellation of Bordeaux, known for its production of high-quality wines. While it doesn't enjoy the same level of recognition as some of the more famous estates in the region, it's likely that it produces wines that reflect the terroir and traditions of Saint-Émilion.
James Suckling: 95-96/100
This is very long and tight with wonderful al-dente fruit, such as blackberry and orange peel. Fine tannins run the length of the wine, keeping it fresh and vivid at the end. 97% merlot and 3% cabernet franc.
Antonio Galloni - Vinous: 91-93/100
The 2023 Enclos Tourmaline 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.
Lisa Perrotti-Brown - Wine Independent: 90-92/100
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2023 Enclos Tourmaline features vivacious notes of crushed blackberries and fresh blueberries giving way to hints of violets, dark chocolate, and aniseed. The medium-bodied palate is plush-textured with open-knit black fruits and just enough freshness, finishing fruity.
