"The 2016 Enclos Tourmaline is round, sensual and polished, offering striking fruit purity, no hard edges and terrific overall balance. Black cherry, chocolate, French oak and licorice give the wine its deep, unctuous personality. Voluptuous and racy, with ripe fruit and silky tannins, the 2016 possesses tons of intensity and richness in a very ripe style that is brought out further by vinification in new French oak barrels. Enclos Tourmaline emerges from a single parcel that is part of La Patache. Michel Rolland is the consultant. Tasted two times."

"The 2016 Enclos Tourmaline has blossomed into a beautiful wine. Dark cherry jam, mocha and wild flowers all develop in this gorgeous, vibrant Pomerol. The interplay of fruit intensity, aromatic depth and energy makes for a captivating, arrestingly beautiful wine. Sensual and impeccable in its balance, Enclos Tourmaline is a winner in 2016. Enclos Tourmaline emerges from a single parcel that is part of Peter Kwok's La Patache estate."

"The 2016 Enclos Tourmaline, from vines opposite the original winery at Clinet, has a pure, perfumed bouquet of black cherries, blueberry and truffle aromas that retain impressive delineation. The palate is well balanced with fine tannin, very fine acidity and a surprisingly elegant, almost languorous finish that I find appealing. This is a superb Pomerol that will give 20 years of drinking pleasure."
