'Les C' de CARMES HAUT-BRION
Pessac-Leognan
2nd Wine of
Chateau Carmes Haut Brion
The top wine currently sells for approx. £142 for a 75cl bottle! So this
represents real value.
RP/Lisa Perrotti-Brown - The 2018 Le C des Carmes
Haut-Brion is blended of 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot and 2% Petit
Verdot. It includes 25% whole cluster, has 13.6% alcohol and is
anticipated to age 18-24 months in barriques, 30% new. Deep
garnet-purple coloured, it is a little reduced to begin, opening out to
pretty notions of roses, cinnamon stick and black pepper over a core of
Black Forest cake, licorice, tar, warm cassis and chargrill.
Medium-bodied, the palate is tightly wound with firm, ripe, chunky
tannins and lovely freshness with saline and mineral sparks coming
through on the long, vibrant finish. |

PAPE CLEMENT
Pessac-Leognan
RP/Lisa Perrotti-Brown - The 2018 Pape Clement is a
blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc, aged
for approximately 18 months in oak barriques, 60% new. Medium to deep
garnet-purple coloured, it rolls out of the glass with vibrant notes of
crushed black cherries, stewed black plums and black raspberries,
followed by suggestions of violets, star anise, cardamom and camphor
with a waft of iron ore. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers
exhilarating energy, offering crunchy black berry and exotic spice
layers with a solid frame of ripe, grainy tannins and loads of
freshness, finishing long and mineral tinged. Still very primary, it
will need a good 5 years in bottle to deliver that next-level experience
and will drink over the next 30+ years. |
