Château La Tour Carnet 4. Cru Classé Haut-Médoc 2022

"A blend of 59% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Cabernet Franc, the 2022 La Tour Carnet offers up rich aromas of cassis, blueberry, warm spices and pencil shavings, framed by toasty new oak. Fresh and slightly menthol-tingled, the palate is medium to full-bodied, with a fleshy core of fruit and firm structuring tannins that assert themselves on the finish."
88-90/100 Punkte

"A juicy red with redcurrants and flowers. Dark stones, too. Medium body with creamy tannins and a juicy finish. Polished and balanced."

"Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zarte Edelholznote, etwas Schokolade, dunkle Waldbeeren, dezente Kräuterwürze ist un- terlegt. Saftig, reife Kirschen, angenehme Fruchtsüße, frisch strukturiert, Nugat im Abgang, ein vielseitiger Speisenbegleiter, der bald antrinkbar sein wird."

"The 2022 La Tour Carnet was picked from 12 September to 4 October. Of course, it has absorbed Château Caronne Ste. Gemme after last year's acquisition by Bernard Magrez, making it the largest estate on the Left Bank. It is laden with ripe black cherries, raspberry coulis and fig scents, hints of iodine in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with a sappy entry. I like the marine influence in this wine. It is well balanced with a slightly powdery texture and fresh finish. Give it 4-5 years in bottle."
