Tasted blind. Very dark garnet. Tending toward oxidation. Fruit is not fresh enough, alas. Very thick. (JR)

The 2005 La Tour Carnet had a strong showing for this cru classé 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.
The 2005 La Tour Carnet is a delicious, affordable wine off the list with lovely early tertiary notes and more than enough fruit to drink well for at least another handful of years. This is a brilliant showing. (AG)
