Le millésime 2016 a engendré un vin plein, charnu et très séduisant. La finale offre du gras et un fruité mûr. Il s’équilibre bien et s’imposera comme l’un des meilleurs rapport qualité/prix du Médoc.

Direct, with good typicity to the mix of plum pit, black cherry and cedar notes, showing a flash of iron on the slightly austere finish.—J.M.

Straight from the first nose we feel the extraction, the drama, the confidence. This is clean and crisp through the mid-palate, with crushed blackberry, liquorice, dark chocolate and tobacco notes. A strong showing from La Tour Carnet, there is no doubt you are in Magrez territory, but he is delivering on his signature with a flourish. It's a good wine, and tasted even better second time around at the UGCs.Read more at http://www.decanter.com/wine-reviews/france/bordeaux/chateau-la-tour-carnet-haut-medoc-4eme-cru-classe-2016-11030#hdCaOQpPphPGgLVH.99

S'il reste un peu dur en finale, ce vin présente une certaine originalité dans son expression aromatique avec des notes de chocolat en poudre qui s'ajoutent à celles, plus classiques, de fruits rouges et de vanille. D'une bonne longueur et s'appuyant sur une imposante charpente tannique, le palais témoigne du solide potentiel de cette bouteille.

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 la Tour Carnet has an earthy nose with tobacco and underbrush over a core of warm plums, kirsch and tea. The medium-bodied palate is refreshing, elegant, juicy and soft with a savory finish.

For a Haut-Médoc, this has an impressive depth of blackberry and blueberry character, together with a fine vanilla-oak note that beautifully complements the supple and finely nuanced, medium body. I love the crisp and delicately herbal, dry finish. A blend of 60% merlot, 37% cabernet sauvignon and 3% cabernet franc. Better from 2020.
