Tasting notes
The 2020 C de Carmes Haut-Brion, from Pessac-Léognan, is a refined Bordeaux blend composed of approximately 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot.
In the glass, it shows a deep ruby color with purple reflections. The nose is aromatic and elegant, revealing notes of dark berries, ripe plum, and subtle spice, complemented by hints of licorice and delicate floral nuances.
On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, displaying a silky texture and polished tannins that provide both structure and finesse. Layers of black fruits and spice unfold with freshness and balance, leading to a long, refined finish with a gentle floral lift.
