Chateau La Tour Carnet 2019

- 91-93 Punkte VINOUS, Antonio Galloni: "The 2019 La Tour Carnet is fabulous. Deep and inky, it shows notes of graphite, scorched earth, cedar, tobacco and menthol. The 2019 needs time to shed some of its baby fat and reveal its full range of aromatics, but it is undeniably beautiful today. Best of all, the 2019 should be a fabulous deal."

- 90-92+ Punkte Robert Parkers WINE ADVOCATE, Lisa Perrotti-Brown: "Deep purple-black colored, the 2019 la Tour Carnet charges out of the glass with bold notes of crushed black plums, fresh blackcurrants and kirsch plus suggestions of bay leaves, pencil lead, camphor and woodsmoke. The medium-bodied palate has a great core of taut, muscular black fruit with a firm, grainy texture and well-knit freshness, finishing long and savory."

- 92 Punkte FALSTAFF, Peter Moser: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarter Ockerrand. Mit dezenter Edelholzwürze unterlegte dunkle Beerenfrucht, ein Hauch von Kirschen, zart nach Orangenzesten. Saftig, feine Kirschfrucht, zarte Extraktsüße, runde Tannine, frisch strukturiert, mineralisch und ausgewogen, verfügt über Entwicklungspotenzial."

- 93 Punkte DECANTER, Jane Anson: "Magrez's flagship Haut-Médoc estate has been producing sterling wines over recent years and this is another success. Confident and ambitious as is his signature, this combines a gourmet raspberry puree feel with tight and controlled cassis and cedar notes, rolled up with a fresh mint finish. Real precision on display. Harvest September 20 to October 10. Now competing for the title of biggest estate in the Médoc at 176ha. Michel Rolland consultant, 30% new oak. Drinking Window 2025 – 2040"

- 90-92 Punkte JEB DUNNUCK: "The 2019 Château La Tour Carnet from Bernard Magrez sports a deep purple color as well as powerful notes of blackcurrants, new leather, cedar, and tobacco. It's concentrated, medium to full-bodied, has bright acidity, and a great finish. It's another beautiful 2019 in the making that's going to require bottle age."

- 90-91 Punkte JAMES SUCKLING: "This is creamy and integrated with a tight palate of acidity and lemon, green-apple and lime flavors."
