Tasting notes
The 2023 La Tour Carnet offers dark berry fruit, briar, graphite and light tea leaf scents that open in the glass, quite classical in style. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, touches of black pepper and quite a noticeable seaweed note lending a little complexity on the finish. Quite solid style but, again, fresh and sapid.

A juicy red showing good balance and fruit. Aromas of spiced red berries, red cherries and hints of paprika and cedar. Juicy and expressive, with a medium body, lightly chewy tannins and a medium-long finish. Merlot and cabernet sauvignon. Drink now or hold.
Spicy red and black fruits, new leather, flowers, and some tobacco notes all define the 2023 Château La Tour Carnet, a pure, medium-bodied, nicely balanced 2023 that has plenty of mid-palate depth, ripe, polished tannins, juicy acidity, and a great finish. It's another beautiful wine under the Magrez umbrella that has tons of fruit as well as character.
Flowers, tobacco and red fruits define the core of this wine on the nose, and on the palate. Medium-boded, with more freshness than in previous vintages, the wine ends with a complicating nuance of citrus in the finish that I really like. You can enjoy this in its youth. The wine blends 75% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Petit Verdot, and 1% Cabernet Franc.
