The Cabernet Franc is again incredibly assertive, with strong savory and feral notes that lend quite a bit of character. Scorched earth, tobacco, iron and smoke are laced throughout a core of black fruit. Le Carré is not exactly subtle in 2019, but it sure had a lot to offer. It is one of the more imposing wines in Jonathan Maltus's range-Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media. Le Carre was purchased from Canon in around 2000 and adjoins Clos Fourtet. The 2019 Le Carre is composed of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple in color, it comes skipping out of the glass with cheery notes of Morello cherries, mulberries, and black raspberries, plus suggestions of potpourri, cinnamon stick, and fragrant earth. Medium to full-bodied, the palate shimmers with energetic red and black fruit layers, framed by plush tannins, finishing long and fragrant.-Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Independent |
