Chateau La Tour Carnet 2012

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (90)

Part of the empire of Bernard Magrez, this blend of 61% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc is a sleeper of the vintage in 2012. Its excellent dense ruby/purple color, sweet cassis, black cherry fruit, supple tannins, medium to full body and attractive, long finish make for an impressive wine that should drink nicely for 10-15 years. It’s already accessible. This is another wine that performed dramatically better from the bottle than from barrel tastings.

James Suckling (90)

A soft and silky wine with currant, spice and earth character. Medium to full body, fine tannins and a fresh finish. Very pretty.
