Warm nose. Elegant, balanced, aged to a velvety round taste. From the same owners of Chateau Figeac. Merlot and Cabernet Franc on almost equal percentages, and a little bit of Cabernet Sauvignon. Had the 2004 vintage with steak. — 8 years ago

This 11 year old blend of even parts Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot comes from a 50+ year old vines in the gravel banks of north eastern Italy. The Vencjar is the Figeac of Friuli with excellent,high class earthiness tied to dark plum & currant fruit. The wine was great with Cinnamon's homemade gnocchi! — 9 years ago
Bright red succulent fruit. Cassis, touch of tobacco but very subtle. Outstanding length of acidity, dusty dry tannins. Layers of flavours, with an impressive long aftertaste. 92+ points. — 9 years ago

Tonight we have opened the 2009 Chateau La Tour du Pin. This is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. This property was owned by Antoine Mouiex from 1947 to 2006 when the owners of Cheval Blanc purchased it from the Mouiex family. The name was officially changed in 2008 from La Tour du Pin Figeac to Chateau La Tour du Pin. The same Technical Team responsible for producing wine of Cheval Blanc is now in charge of wines at La Tour du Pin. I am inclined just from this fact alone to be keeping my eyes on this Chateau. If you are a fan of Cheval Blanc this is where you can get your bang for the buck.
On the nose there is vibrant aromas of wonderful black fruit, black cherry, blackberry, black plum, black currant and licorice.
On the palate is good black fruit, black cherry, blackberry, black plum, green bell pepper, herbal notes and nice minerality.
The wine is medium to full bodied with medium acidity and smooth medium sandy tannins that is well balanced and has a pleasingly long finish. I am truly enjoying this wine that is brightening up my weekend. Please be safe and have a continued great weekend. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 7 years ago
