Chateau Les Carmes de Haut Brion 2008

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (89)

Made in an ethereal, lighter style than usual, the 2008 Les Carmes Haut-Brion offers up notes of menthol, unsmoked cigar tobacco, and sweet red and black currants. Medium-bodied, pure, delicate, and full of charm, it only lacks the texture and depth one expects in the best vintages like 2008. Drink it over the next 12-14 years.

Winespectator (88)

A fresh, accessible style, showing a beam of bright raspberry and mulled cherry fruit laid easily over hints of lilac and pebble, which give this just enough grip on the finish.

Rene Gabriel rates this wine 17/20 points.
