Tasting notes
The 2012 Chateau La Tour St Bonnet has a rounded, mulberry-scented bouquet that has developed light wilted petal notes in bottle. The palate is medium-bodied with nicely judged acidity and plenty of earthy, tobacco-infused red fruit, leading to a conservative but nicely delineated finish. This shows a slight improvement from in barrel.

Light and simple, but instantly recognisable Bordeaux with firm structure and dark, dense fruit. Simple, everyday drinking – just what Cru Bourgeois should be about. (RH)
Black cherry colour. Blackcurrant pastille on the nose. Dry and a little green on the palate, but still fresh at the end. (JH)
A top sleeper of the vintage, this property overachieves in just about every vintage. Composed of equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, the deep ruby/blue/purple-colored 2012 offers up notes of tobacco leaf, black currants, underbrush and cedar. This medium to full-bodied, rich Haut Medoc offers terrific value. Drink it over the next 5-10 years. Wine Advocate.April, 2013
