Chateau La Tour Carnet 2005 RED France

Nestled in the heart of Bordeaux's Haut-Medoc Chateau La Tour Carnet is a fantastically historic estate that comes equipped with its own medieval castle and moat! Skilled winemaker Bernard Magrez owns the property and in recent years has dramatically improved wine-quality - "One can't say enough about the fabulous job proprietor Bernard Magrez has done" (Robert Parker). One of the secrets to Bernard's success is his shrewd decision to have renowned oenologist Michel Rolland at the helm of the wine's production. With Michel's help Bernard is able to produce sublime top-shelf claret that punches well above its price tag. "A blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon 43% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot it reveals an inky/purple color as well as a powerful nose of scorched earth acacia flowers blueberries and black currants. Displaying an old style concentration with modern-styled tannins it possesses fabulous richness a full-bodied powerful mouthfeel terrific precision and a wonderful sweetness to the fruit as well as tannin." Robert Parker
