Chateau Carbonnieux 2023

JAMES SUCKLING: "This is a solid Carbonnieux with blackberry, forest-floor and crushed-stone character. It’s medium-bodied with firm, muscular tannins and a cool and bright finish. Better than 2022?"

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2023 Carbonnieux reveals aromas of dark wild berries, mulberries, cassis, spices and menthol intertwined with violet notes with aeration. Medium to full-bodied, layered and textured with structured tannins, it’s lively and rich with powdery tannins and a fresh, elegant finish. This blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot will be matured in one-third new oak."

FALSTAFF: „Kräftiges Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart nach Nugat und Kokos, dunkle Waldbeeren, reife Zwetschken. Mittlerer Körper, dunkle Kirschen, etwas vegetale Tannine, dezente Säure, blättriger Touch im Nachhall, rotbeeriger Rückgeschmack."
