Note di degustazione
The 2024 Haut-Carles is laced with macerated dark cherry, spice, new leather, cedar and menthol. There's commendable complexity and dynamic energy here. The 20% stems add aromatic presence and vibrancy without dominating the balance. This is nicely done. Tasted two times.

The 2024 Haut-Carles has a more opulent bouquet than the regular cuvée, although it doesn't quite have the same terroir expression or delineation. The palate has more sweetness and substance, grippier tannins, minerally black fruit and a harmonious finish. I personally prefer the regular cuvée but this is still a well-crafted wine that will just require a bit longer in bottle.
Flowers, black raspberries, cherries, mint, espresso, and chocolate create the forward, fruity, medium-bodied wine that is going to offer delicious, easy-drinking pleasure just about on release. Though you should allow it a year or two for the oak to fully integrate. The wine blends 85% Merlot with 15% Cabernet Franc.
A fruity and firm red with berries and mild spices. Medium-bodied with powdery tannins and texture. Lean and fruity. Medium finish.
