The 2015 La Tour Carnet is a blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. The fruit was cooled through a "cryogenic tunnel freezer," essentially spraying liquid nitrogen, and will be matured for 16 months in 30% new oak. It has a very pure bouquet, so much so that there is something almost Pinot Noir-like here, with ebullient Morello and subtle kirsch-like scents. The oak is judicious and neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin. This is very smooth and harmonious in the mouth, well-judged acidity, precise and detailed. It gently fans out on the finish, completing what I think is a very well-crafted, silky and seductive Haut-Médoc.

A bright and pretty white that is mostly sauvignon blanc but with 26% sauvignon gris as well as 20% semillon. Vivid and delicious.

Deep crimson and glowing. Quite fresh and strict on the nose. Good vitality. Just a little tart at the moment but it should mature into something vital and refreshing. Certainly not overdone.
