2018 Château Tour Maillet

The 2018 Tour Maillet feels muddled and lacks a little focus on the nose. The palate is sweet on the entry, but there is a contradictory bitterness that jars on the short finish.

Ripe dark fruit on the nose, as well as some blue-fruit, vanilla and toasty aromas. Iodine and tar, too. Full-bodied and juicy with firm, chewy tannins and a fresh finish. Savory. A traditional feel to this. Try after 2025. (03/2021)

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Tour Maillet has a nose vaguely scented of stewed plums, dried mulberries and sautéed herbs with a waft of charcoal. The medium-bodied palate has a good amount of herb-laced black fruit with plenty of freshness and a chewy finish.
