C Des Carmes Haut Brion (750ML)

From Pessac-Leognan

Vintage:	2019
Description:	96 De / 93 Wi. Beautiful fragrance to the nose, perfumed and delicate yet so expressive, nothing out of balance with cherries and violets bursting out of the glass. Gorgeous smooth mouthfeel with some milk chocolate dusting on the fruit, tannins are delicate and softly mouth filling with a lovely salinity to the palate - creamy and unctuous but at the same time there's lots of acidity. This has a verticality to it, layered but with an aerial quality too, the flavours just glide across the palate with lift on the finish - so satisfying and drinkable. Just a glorious, shining, bright, velvety, succulent glass of wine. Pure elegance. A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot, 3.55pH. Drinking Window 2022 - 2046 - Georgina Hindle, Decanter. A blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, and 3% Petit Verdot, the 2019 Le C des Carmes Haut-Brion was made with 28% whole-bunch fermentation and has a pH of 3.7. It rolls effortlessly out of the glass with open scents of black cherries, cassis, and juicy blackberries with suggestions of clove oil, wild sage, and underbrush. Medium-bodied, delicately styled, and with a beautiful quiet intensity, it has plush tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing earthy. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Independent.
