Note di degustazione
The 2002 Les Carmes Haut-Brion has a surprisingly rich and quite decadent bouquet with intense black cherries, cassis and violet aromas. These scents seem to melt in the glass with candied strawberry, light toffee-ish aromas developing. The palate is medium-bodied with a very medicinal entry, peppermint and liquorice, though it does lack freshness and feels sauvage on the finish. Drink soon. Tasted at the Les Carmes Haut-Brion vertical at the château.

The serious quantity of Cabernet Franc used at this estate comes forth in the complex cedary, menthol, spice box, and plum, cherry, and currant notes in this wine’s aromatics. The wine is medium-bodied, attractively lush, with good finesse, depth, and ripeness. It is a successful effort for a 2002 Pessac-Leognan. Drink it over the next decade.
Purplish crimson. Reticent, youthful nose. Round, relatively supple on the palate. Almost not trying. Very dry, grainy tannins on the finish. Clean but in the sense of a palate scrub rather than a palate refresher. Just not enough fruit in the middle. (JR)
