Chateau Les Carmes de Haut Brion 2012

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (92)

An inky, bluish-black color, this wine has deep black raspberry and blueberry
notes mixed with charcoal, graphite and subtle smoke. Rich, full-bodied and
silky textured, this complex, stunning Pessac-Léognan from this tiny jewel of
a vineyard near Haut Brion is hitting all the high notes in 2012. It should drink
well for 15-20. This is another bottled wine that dramatically out-performed its
barrel sample.

James Suckling (91)

Features a smoldering tobacco edge around the core of steeped plum and raspberry fruit, while hints of dried anise and alder line the finish. Shows range and character, with well-embedded acidity bolstering the length.
