Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Château Tour d'Horable is a blend of 90% Merlot mainly present for its fruity taste, and 10% Cabernet Franc to reinforce the structure & balance of the wine.

Under a deep, crimson and purple colour, Château Tour d'Horable is an aromatic wine based upon a fantastic balance enhanced by maturation in oak barrels.

A nice balance of red and black fruits, with light toast from the small amount of new oak used.
