Description: Tour St. Bonnet can be surprisingly hard and austere in youth but with 4-5 years of cellaring, can open up to reveal intense cassis flavours accompanied by smooth, balanced tannins. Decanter: Steven Spurrier, Decanter.com, 15.5 pts - "Good plummy cassis Médoc, good succulent fruit, good future. Drink 2012-16." Vinification: The wine is matured for 18 months in large oak foudres rather than the more commonly found small barriques.
