The property was acquired by Peter Kwok and his son Howard in 2012. Enclos Tourmaline is produced in small quantities only during great vintages. The first vintage produced less than 1,000 bottles, and in 2013 no wines were made at all. Following the image of the Tourmaline, a multi-colour precious gemstone, our estate echoes the multiplicity and excellence of the terroir of Pomerol. This wine is made from three exceptional parcels. Each has a different but complementary type of terroir, and berries from these parcels form an exceptional cuvee.\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100 Points - James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"This has a nice touch of new wood that isn’t yet fully integrated on the nose, with fine spices, sweet blueberries and violets throughout. Quite fresh on the palate with higher acidity than many of its peers of this hot and dry vintage. The tannins are tight-grained and vertical with good vibration before the lengthy finish.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Points - Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Rocking levels of ripe red, blue, and black fruits, as well as truffly earth, violets, blood orange, and chocolate, all soar from the 2022 Enclos Tourmaline, another extroverted, sexy, full-throttle Pomerol. I love its balance on the palate, and it has ripe, polished tannins, full body, ample mid-palate depth, and a great finish. It's hard to resist today, yet this will benefit from 3-5 years in the cellar and shine over the following two decades.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Points - The Wine Independent\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This is not quite pure Merlot, as there is 5% Cabernet Franc blended in here. I like the sense of integration on the nose, which presents powdery dark fruits with scented oak notes of sandalwood and cedar, along with a little hawthorn freshness. This has real impact on the palate, with dark fruits, black cherry and black plum, but with tobacco and toast lift around the edges, a touch of barrel spice to it, but most of all a real sense of energy and freshness. The palate is supported by a fine-boned and well knit frame of tannins, taut and dense but not drying, which make their presence known throughout the palate into the finish, where they grip down more firmly. There is acidity and freshness too though. An imposing wine, but with a deft footprint.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eThe nose delivers an aromatic richness: black plum, black cherry, light scents of licorice, the florals notes integrate with the cinnamon scents. The mouth is concentrated in black fruits, powerful and spicy. A refreshing bitterness drives the balance into a further dimension, in addition to the acidity and the peppery notes. Long, intense and massive. The barrel ageing, already in osmosis with the wine, will give it a growing complexity over the years.\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Enclos Pomerol","offers":[{"title":"3 Bottle Case","offer_id":58396316565835,"sku":"WOLEN13311S","price":525.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Single Bottle","offer_id":58396334293323,"sku":null,"price":180.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0213\/9218\/files\/Enclos_Tourmaline_Pomerol_wood1.jpg?v=1788786812","url":"https:\/\/wineonline.ie\/products\/enclos-tourmaline-pomerol-2022","provider":"WineOnline","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
