Probably the finest Carbonnieux I have tasted in over three decades, this deep ruby/purple-colored offering reveals complex aromas of black cherries, currants, tobacco, soy, and earth. Medium-bodied, with gorgeous purity, more glycerin and depth than usual, and subtle toasty oak in the background, this is a beautiful example of refinement and breeding.
Pleasant and fruity, with cherry and berry character, light to medium body and a fresh finish.
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 17/20 points.
