Description
Château La Tour Carnet, 4eme Grand Cru Classé, Haut Medoc, Bordeaux, France, 2020
Grapes: Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon with 5% Petit Verdot, 130ha vineyard, ageing in oak barrels for 16 months (30% new).
Critics' Tasting Notes:
"Aromas of raspberries, crème de cassis, cigar wrapper and loamy soil introduce the 2020 La Tour Carnet, a medium to full-bodied, velvety and polished wine that's more harmonious and better balanced than Magrez's Grands Chênes. This large estate has eaten up many of the Haut-Médoc's non-classified growths over the past decade to arrive at a surface area of over 130 hectares today."
91/100 points, William Kelley, WINE ADVOCATE
"Dark garnet in color, the wine pops with its show nose of espresso, smoked currants, licorice, and barbecue aromas. The wine is ripe, round and lush with a full, rich, polished wave of black cherries and cocoa that come through easily on the mid-palate and in the finish."
92/100 points, Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider, March 2023
Drink with Beef, Lamb, Game (deer, venison), Poultry.
