Chateau La Tour Carnet 2012 shows ripe blackcurrant and dark cherry layered with gentle spice and a hint of mocha, framed by polished yet still firm tannins. Medium to full in body, it combines richness with freshness, promising further complexity while already drinking with notable ease and charm.

Château La Tour Carnet is a historic Haut‑Médoc Grand Cru Classé (1855) on the left bank of Bordeaux, owned and renovated by Bernard Magrez; its large, mixed‑soil estate (gravel over limestone/clay) produces a classically structured Bordeaux blend—typically a Merlot‑forward/Cabernet‑Sauvignon backbone—known for ripe black‑fruit and cedar notes, herbal complexity and firm, ageworthy tannins.
