Chateau La Tour Figeac Grand Cru Classe, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2010

Bright red-ruby. Sexy aromas of liqueur-like black raspberry, mocha, chocolate, game and truffley earth. Plush, smoky and sweet, with utterly pliant flavors of raspberry, mocha, truffle and loam. Finishes with a firm dusting of tannins and excellent breadth and length. I'd hold this for three or four years and then enjoy it over the next ten. No rough edges to this lovely merlot-based wine.
