The description below comes from the retailer. Bottle details and price comparisons are listed above.

From a rare and prestigious appellation, reputed to be the best of the Saint-Émilion satellites, this ruby-colored wine, with complex spicy notes, offers structure and complexity on the palate. Blend: 66% Merlot, 3% Malbec, 4% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Cabernet Franc, 5.5% Petit Verdot, 4.5% Carménère Attractive nose of hot chocolate, hazelnuts, rosehips and cherries follow through to a creamy, juicy and full-bodied palate. The tannins are fine and lightly chalky. Mostly merlot with some cabernet franc, malbec and petit verdot. Drink after 2026. Strongly scented with perfumed floral and ripe fruit aromas. Smells lively and open. Smooth and fruity with high acidity that really lifts this and gives tons of freshness but still with the ripe, concentrated fruit underneath which gives a nice contrast. Ends mineral and salty with liquorice and clove spice adding further complexity. The 2022 Tour du Pas Saint-Georges is a big, big wine. Succulent dark plum, espresso, licorice, new leather and incense saturate the palate. This unapologetically rich, opulent Saint-Georges Saint-Emilion is not at all subtle, but it is well done. A touch of savory complexity from the Cabernet Franc lingers.
