Country: France /
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Bordeaux
Winery: Chateau La Tour Carnet / Haut-Médoc
The ancient vineyard of Tour Carnet, first planted in the 15th century, is into a renaissance. This wine, which showed too many tannins when in barrel, is now coming to life. The balance, the acidity and the seductive perfumes promise plenty. So does the structure, just hinting at bitterness, a function of its youthfulness. Keep for 5–8 years.
