Tasting Note: |
Wine Advocate#146 (4/2003) Rating: 89 points Drink: 2007 - 2016
The dense purple-colored 2000 boasts a sweet nose of graphite intermixed with cassis, licorice, and toasty espresso notes. As the wine sat in the glass, floral notes also emerged. Heady, ripe, and medium to full-bodied, it is the finest La Tour Carnet produced in many decades. -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2003) Score: 90
Silky and pleasing, with berry, mineral and blackberry character. Medium body. Fine finish. Very elegant. Best after 2008. 15,580 cases made. –JS

Huge colour, big and intensely rich, very ripe, almost meaty blackcurrant fruit, lots of extract and attractive tobacco-y flavours, ripeness goes all the way, good class and good potential. Ready 2006-2020. (tasted en primeur) |
