Our oenologists' opinion
Powerful bouquet
The straightforward nose reveals intense notes of cherry jam and blackberry syrup, enriched by toasty nuances of roasted spices, black pepper and a hint of mocha, adding depth and complexity.
The full, fleshy attack reveals a full-bodied wine with good volume and controlled balance.
Its powerful character is based on roasted spices, with a hint of hardness due to tannins that are still young, but which will mature well.
The full-bodied finish continues this intensity, with an assertive structure and good persistence, auguring good ageing potential.

Features
Body ? The body is the way a wine feels inside the mouth. Several factors, such as the alcohol content and the presence of tannins, contribute to the feel of the wine.
Freshness ? The freshness of a wine is defined by its level of acidity. Unlike rounded wines, fresh wines are easy to drink, and are more lively. Acidity plays a necessary part in a wine's structure.
Aging ? All wines do not have the same aging potential. Some are supposed to be consumed at a young age while others must be kept for longer periods of time.
Tannins ? Coming from stems, grape pips and their storage barrels, the tannin gives structure to red wines only.

CHÂTEAU TOUR PRIGNAC
Acquired by the Castel family in 1973, Château Tour Prignac is a former 17th-century fortified house, distinguished by its two towers and dovecote. Its name pays tribute to these towers, which adorn the estate located in the commune of Prignac-en-Médoc.
It boasts the largest single-plot vineyard in the Médoc and is the northernmost property of Châteaux & Domaines Castel.
Staying true to its terroir, Cabernet Sauvignon, the emblematic grape variety of Northern Médoc, has been preserved against the trend towards all-Merlot blends.
This Cru Bourgeois, renowned for its exceptional value for money, is distributed worldwide.
