La Tour de By
-
(12x75cl) 2009Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (91)
Glass-staining deep purple-ruby. Exotic notes of Oriental spices and cedar complicate ripe plum and blackberry jam aromas. Fresh and clean on entry, showing a peppery lift to the rich blackberry and mineral flavors. The wine's youthful tannins will require at least a couple years to resolve fully, but this is a very successful, elegantly styled wine with a persistent mineral finish.HK$2,620.00 -

An elegant, straightforward style of wine with some earthy, subtle herbaceousness, this effort exhibits medium body, decent red and black currant fruit, and a soft finish. Drink it over the next 5-7 years.HK$3,340.00 -
Vinous - Neal Martin (87)
The 2016 La Tour de By has quite an intense blackberry, briary and truffle scented bouquet that opens nicely in the glass. The palate is rounded and velvety on the entry, to the point where I would like more grip. This is plush and generous, quite long in the mouth although I wonder if it has real ageing potential. As such I would enjoy this in its flush of youth. Tasted at the Oenoconseil tasting room in Bordeaux.HK$1,860.00 -
James Suckling (91-92)
This shows lots of rich, ripe fruit with blue-fruit, rather than red-fruit character, suggesting ripe, but not overripe character. Full body, soft and round tannins and a flavorful finish.HK$1,035.00 -
James Suckling (92-93)
Blackberry, black-olive and violet aromas follow through to a full to medium body with round, creamy tannins and a juicy finish. Very pretty.HK$1,035.00
