Carmes Haut Brion 2015
CRITIC REVIEWS
Julia Harding MW
Deep crimson. Smells riper than the Pessacs and Graves tasted so far but still pure dark fruit. Savoury, dry and elegant, more length than depth at the moment and less fruit depth than I expected from the nose, but I think it will flesh out in the bottle. (JH)

A blend of 54% Cabernet Franc, 32% Merlot, and 14% Cabernet Sauvignon, with nearly 50% whole bunch fermentation, the 2015 Les Carmes Haut-Brion spent 2 years in barrel with nearly 90% new oak. Deep garnet-purple colored (the total phenolics index is almost 90!), it charges out of the gate with vivacious scents of Morello cherries, creme de cassis, and boysenberry preserves, plus hints of violets, charcoal, mossy tree bark, and wild thyme. Medium-bodied, the palate has a rock-solid structure of grainy tannins and plenty of freshness to support the intense black fruits, finishing long and savory.
