2009 Château Tourteran, Haut Médoc Cru Bourgeois (magnum)

Elegantly matured and beautifully expressive, this is Bordeaux at its most assured. Layers of blackcurrant are joined by notes of leather, tobacco and earthy truffle, offering depth, complexity and quiet confidence. The once-firm tannins have softened into something wonderfully supple, carrying through to a long, composed and thoroughly satisfying finish. Drinking perfectly now, this magnum is made for the table — and for those moments that call for a genuinely memorable bottle.
