Thoughts of the Tower Notebook 2015 - Bernard Magrez 75cl
The 2015 Château La Tour Carnet Rouge, a Grand Cru Classé of Haut-Médoc, is a wine of character and elegance. Its color is deep and intense, while the nose reveals seductive aromas of ripe black fruits such as black cherry, blackberry, and blackcurrant, enhanced by spicy notes of licorice and black pepper. On the palate, it is generous and full-bodied, offering a velvety texture and perfectly integrated tannins. The black fruit flavors are subtly complemented by touches of vanilla, cedar, and tobacco, which add complexity and length. The long, lingering finish leaves an impression of freshness and purity.
This elegant and balanced 2016 vintage has great aging potential, lending itself perfectly to pairings with grilled or sauced red meats, mature cheeses, and Mediterranean cuisine.
