CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2019 Les Carmes Haut-Brion has a perfumed, quite floral bouquet with red cherries, sloes, blackcurrant and a touch of marmalade. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, and gentle grip. Quite structured with plenty of substance on the finish, just a touch of espresso lingering on the aftertaste. Distinctive, is a positive sense. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.

Tasted blind. Solid, savoury. Not thrilling, but not too sweet. Lots of substance here. And masses of - too much? - tannin. Drying finish. (JR)
