ANTONIO GALLONI: "The 2021 Carbonnieux is gorgeous. It has more than enough mid-palate depth and overall richness to fill out its frame. Dark red cherry, plum , cinnamon, spice and incense all flesh out with a bit of aeration. Pliant and yet also nicely structured, the 2021 is a winner. I loved it."

JAMES SUCKLING: "A juicy red with bright acidity and creamy tannins. Medium body, a pretty center-palate and a delicious finish. Crushed stones."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Smoke, tobacco leaf, lead pencil, herbs, currants, and plums create the bouquet. Medium-bodied, elegant, fresh, bright, crisp, and savory, the wine finishes with spicy currants and a touch of cigar wrapper in the endnote. The wine blends 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 7% Petit Verdot, 13.5% ABV. Drink from 2024-2037."
