VertdeVin
The nose is fruity and offers a fine power / intensity. It reveals notes of cassis, blackberry and small notes of cherry associated with slight hints of crunchy wild strawberry, flowers as well as very discreet hints of peony, licorice and caramelization. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers good definition, minerality, freshness, gourmandise, a very fine grain as well as a fine juicy / mineral frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy/juicy raspberry, fleshy/juicy blackberry and small notes of fleshy/juicy cassis combined with fine touches of fleshy/juicy red berries as well as a very discreet hint of peony, almond and toast/vanilla. Tannins are well-built and slightly mellow. Good length.
Wine Enthusiast
The vineyards surrounding the 12th-century castle have produced this rich and densely structured wine. Powerful tannins give a smoky character to the ripe, black-plum fruits. It definitely needs aging, so drink from 2026.
James Suckling
Blueberries, plums and blackberries, as well as herbal notes. It’s medium-to full-bodied with solid, tight tannins. Fine texture with pleasant acidity and a nice grain. Blackcurrant and light tar in the aftertaste. Try after 2024.
Robert Parker Wine Advocate
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 la Tour Carnet is a little closed and broody to begin, slowly unfurling to offer glimpses at notions of tar, star anise, damp soil and tapenade with a core of stewed plums and boysenberries, plus a waft of cassis. The medium-bodied palate has lovely freshness and bags of savory-laced black fruits framed by rounded tannins, finishing with a lively lift.
