La Tour Carnet 2005 bbq Diced lamb legThe 2005 La Tour Carnet had a strong showing for this cru class owned by Bernard Magrez. A blend of 51% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, this dense purple colored wine has notes of lead pencil shavings, cassis, and subtle, smoky oak. Full bodied with sweet, savory black fruits and light, velvety tannin, this wine is just entering its plateau of maturity. Anticipated maturity: now 2030.
