Château La Tour Carnet 2019 – Haut-Médoc Grand Cru Classé

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.
