This has solid plum, cassis and chocolate notes, with a hint of savory herb for added freshness. Shows good cut on the finish. James Molesworth, WineSpectator.com

Good depth of black fruits, good structure and quite firm tannins yet. Drink 2014-2018. Decanter.com
Decanter Score: 15/20
I have liked Tour de By, a very reliable Cru Bourgeois, for over thirty years. The 2011, a final blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, is a soft, easygoing, bistro-styled, character-filled red that should drink well for 2-3 years. Apr 2014, www.robertparker.com
