Château La Tour Carnet 2016 – Haut-Médoc, Grand Cru Classé

The nose is fruity, elegant, relatively velvety and offers a slight richness (in the background), finesse and a fresh freshness. It reveals notes of ripe blackberry and fresh red berries combined with a hint of strawberry, raspberry, a slight hint of violet and a discreet hint of fresh blueberry, nutmeg and spices. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers roundness, freshness, a slight fat, a fine elegance, tension, juiciness and a small aerial side. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of ripe / fresh cherry, fresh/ripe blackberry and slight notes of wild strawberry associated with hints of wood, licorice, caramelization as well as a subtle hint of mocha and cardamon. Tannins are very fine and slightly firm. (2022+)
