2019 vintage. This ancient estate was bought in 1999 by Bernard Magrez who expanded the vineyards in such a way that today it is the largest Cru Classé vineyard in Bordeaux. The 2019 vintage is a blend of equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. While it is no match for the impressive La Lagune 2019 tasted alongside, this La Tour Carnet is terrific value. Dark coloured, with smokey oak, black fruit and leather in the nose. Powerful taste, with concentrated fruit, good acidity and ripe tannin. Good length too. More extraction and less finesse compared to La Lagune, but highly recommended at 26,90 euros.
