Haut-Carles Chateau de Carles Fronsac

Bordeaux

Fronsac

Inky colour, a smoky swirl of grilled damson and vanilla bean. Plenty of Fronsac character, juicy limestone finish, enjoyably different character from the main Château de Carles estate wine, this one a more gourmet take on the vintage, both work and are ones to look out for. 40% new oak, plus the rest in one year old barrels.

Inside Bordeaux

Deep garnet-purple colored. Skips out with cheery notes of kirsch and black raspberries followed by hints of lavender oil, cloves, and anise. Light to medium-bodied, the palate has a sturdy frame of lightly chewy tannins and plenty of freshness with a savory finish.

Denne luktet ikke noe særlig.

Men nå tror jeg vi har funnet en bordeaux jeg faktisk liker. Tydelige tanniner, syre, men denne har frukt og juice som balanserer strukturen. Hvis jeg ignorerer at den har et hint av lakris, så vil jeg anbefale meg selv å kjøpe denne!

Amatør

The 2021 Haut-Carles from de Carles is medium to deep garnet-purple in color. It features punchy notes of juicy plums and black cherries, followed by hints of balsamic, cedar, and dusty soil. The medium-bodied palate is chewy and lively, with a good amount of blackberry preserve flavors, finishing spicy.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2020 Haut-Carles wafts of cedar and Indian spices over a core of baked plums, blackberry preserves, and sauteed herbs. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is generous and velvety with a long spicy finish.
