Punteggi dei critici
18 Rene Gabriel
Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Klassisches, fein-würziges Médocbouquet, leicht rauchiger Cabernet, zeigt eine schöne Tiefe. Im Gaumen noch selten so fein erlebt und fast cremig in der Textur, die Tannine wirken geschliffen oder sind halt doch reif geworden, erst im Nachklang kommen die Muskeln zum Tragen und geben diesem La Tour-Carnet seinen eigentümlichen Charakter wieder zurück. warten (2018 - 2038)

This dense purple wine displays notes of charcoal, subtle toast and white chocolate as well as blueberry and blackberry liqueur intermixed with hints of graphite and licorice. Dense, full-bodied, unctuously textured, and quite long and thick, this concentrated, impressively endowed wine is silky-textured and already accessible. However, I suspect its best days are at least 5-7 years ahead of it. It should keep for a minimum of two decades. One of the few classified growths in the southern end of the Medoc south of Margaux, La Tour Carnet has been owned for a number of years by Bernard Magrez. It is one of the most picturesque chateaux in Bordeaux, dating from the 12th century, with real towers and a Camelot-style moat surrounding it. A large estate, they have been making top-flight wines for well over a decade, yet the prices remain very realistic for a classified growth Bordeaux. The 2009, which boasts Michel Rolland as the consultant, was a final blend of 62% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest tiny dollops of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.

A linear wine with very good fruit and plum characters. Full body with firm tannins and a mineral and fruit finish. Better in 2016.

Plump and ripe, with a warm edge to the steeped plum, cherry and currant fruit, which mingles gently with light toasty vanilla and tobacco on the finish. A supple, approachable style. Drink now through 2017. 23,330 cases made. –JM

Produttore
Château La Tour Carnet
Risalente al 12º secolo, La Tour Carnet è un autentico castello medievale con un fossato. Più antico Château nel Médoc, deve il suo nome al dignitario di corte Carnet, che combatté con valore al fianco di Lord Jean de Foy. Il coraggio e la devozione di Carnet furono così grandi che finì per ereditare la tenuta. Éléonore, la sorella di Michel de Montaigne, fu uno dei numerosi illustri proprietari durante il 16º secolo. L’attuale proprietario, Bernard Magrez, che possiede anche Pape Clément, ha dedicato un’enorme quantità di tempo ed energia nel rinnovare l’intera tenuta, e in particolar modo il vigneto, le cantine, e lo Château. Lo sfogliamento e la vendemmia sono organizzate in modo da ridurre i raccolti nell’interesse della qualità. Le uve sono raccolte a mano in piccole casse, smistate e lavorate prima di essere trasferite a cascata in tini di fermentazione in legno e infine nelle botti. Queste sono solo alcune delle pratiche che contribuiscono all’eccellenza di questa tenuta, che è stata inclusa nella prestigiosa classificazione del 1855.
