James Suckling
A creamy, plush red with pretty blueberry, lavender, chocolate and light toffee notes. Full body with a fine, caressing tannin structure. Textured and fine. Barrel Sample: 93-94

Jeb Dunnuck
A Pomerol with outstanding potential, the 2021 Château Tour Maillet offers up terrific aromatics of cassis and darker berry fruits as well as some chocolate and mineral nuances that emerge with time in the glass. Nicely concentrated, medium-bodied, and balanced, it has more firm tannins than I'd like, but it offers good mid-palate density, solid ripeness, and a great finish. There's certainly lots to like here. Barrel Sample : 89-92

Decanter
Ripe fruit and perfume on the nose, very clearly scented with concentration and intensity. Nice density and weight with a touch of rusticity to the tannins, the wood spice - caramel, clove, vanilla, and toast flavours coming through quite strongly and overshadowing the fruit at this point. But the overall weight and length is good and this has excellent acidity keeping things lively underneath the other elements. A bright and unfussy wine that will be good in a few years. Michel Rolland consultancy.
