| Tasting note |
Extremely aromatic with currant and blackberry character, as well as graphite. Medium body, very fine tannins and subtle flavors of berries and dark chocolate. Lovely elegance to the texture. By James Suckling, Jan 2020.
The 2017 La Tour Carnet is a significant step up from the Deuixème Vin. Attractive blackberry and black olive scents on the nose with a touch of melted tar, the palate is well balanced with grippy black fruit and a powerful tarry finish. There is a lot of wine here. It is a touch brawny in style but at least there is adequate freshness. By Neal Martin @ Vinous, Feb 2020.
This is another impressive vintage here, and classic Bordeaux lovers should snatch up bottles of the 2017 Chateau Tour Carnet. Lots of blackcurrants, scorched earth, tobacco leaf, and hints of gravelly minerality all emerge from this deep purple/ruby-colored effort. With medium-bodied richness and depth, ripe yet present tannins, and terrific overall balance, it's not a blockbuster but just a classy Medoc that will drink nicely for 10-12 years. By Jeb Dunnuck, Feb 2020. |
