Château La Tour Carnet 2019

VertdeVin

The nose is fruity and offers a racy minerality, a fine power, a good definition as well as a fine grain. It reveals notes of ripe wild cassis, ripe blackberry, small notes of violet associated with small touches of violet plum, small crushed red fruits as well as very fine hints of racy minerality (terroir), zan, camphor and toasted/sweet spices. The palate is fruity, fresh, well-balanced and offers a good definition, juiciness, gourmandize as well as a beautiful definition, finesse and tension. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy blackberry, juicy cassis, violet, small notes of cornflower associated with small touches of violet plum, graphite as well as hints of crushed raspberry, fine hints of liquorice, tonka bean and sweet spices. Good length. A very discreet hint of chocolate on the finish/persistence.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Offering up aromas of rich cassis and blackberry fruit mingled with burning embers, loamy soil and cigar wrapper, the 2019 La Tour Carnet is medium to full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, with a broad attack that segues into an ample core of fruit that's framed by ripe, powdery tannins and lively acids. This is a seamless, rather giving Médoc that has turned out very well.

James Suckling

A solid Haut-Medoc with currant and walnut character and some dried mushroom. It’s full-bodied with medium, chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. Well done. Drink after 2024.
