CRITIC REVIEWS
Antonio Galloni
The 2022 Le C de Carmes Haut-Brion is a big, powerful wine. Just bottled, it is dramatic and decidedly large-scaled in the early going. I am curious to see how much baby fat this sheds in the next year or so as it starts to recover from bottling. Even tod

40% Cabernet Franc, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon and 26% Merlot.Very dark blackish purple. Neat, concentrated but with the fruit rather than the tannins very much dominant. Almost gamey and with a very different structure from most of these 2022s. I'm not sure I'd pick it as a Graves but it's a very distinctive red bordeaux. Lightly sandy finish but not punishingly drying. More fragrant than most but a bit inky. (JR)
