The 2021 La Tour Carnet shows promise, exhibiting aromas of cherries and blackberries mingled with loamy soil and toasty new oak. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and generous, with lively acids and chalky grip, it's often among my favorites of the Magrez portfolio, and that's the case this year.

The 2021 Château La Tour Carnet is an attractive, possibly outstanding, wine offering plenty of ripe red and black fruits, medium-bodied richness, a round, nicely texture mouthfeel, and classic Bordeaux dried herb and sandalwood nuances. It shows the fresher, more mid-weight style of the vintage but does everything right and should keep for 10-12 years or more.
