Chateau La Tour Carnet 2005 Barrel sample Red (Haut-Médoc)
- Online Exclusive
92-94 Barrel sample. Mint and herbs set the scene for a ripe, black-fruited, relatively soft wine, where the tannins are charming rather than firm. But it's easy to imagine this wine broadening and developing a more structured character later.

Chateau La Tour Carnet 2012 Barrel sample Red (Haut-Médoc)
- Online Exclusive
92–94. Barrel sample. Wood and mint aromas yield a wine that is darkly tannic, with a distinct black-coffee flavor. It's a powerful, concentrated wine with fruit hiding behind the dense structure.

Chateau La Tour Carnet 2004 Red (Haut-Médoc)
- Cellar Selection
- $30
The ancient vineyard of Tour Carnet, first planted in the 15th century, is into a renaissance. This wine, which showed too many tannins when in barrel, is now coming to life. The balance, the acidity and the seductive perfumes promise plenty. So does the structure, just hinting at bitterness, a function of its youthfulness. Keep for 5–8 years.

90-92 Barrel sample. Firmly dry wine, solid with many firm, wood-derived tannins. It gives bitter coffee and cranberry juice flavors, but also manages to retain freshness.

Chateau La Tour Carnet 2005 White (Bordeaux Blanc)
- $65
A spicy, nutty wine, with fresh white fruits and some richness. A high proportion of the rare Sauvignon Gris gives this wine an attractive aromatic quince element, supported by judicious new wood.

Chateau La Tour Carnet 2003 White
A fat wine, reflecting the hot 2003 vintage. Highlights on the palate are toast and some grassy character from the Sauvignon Blanc. Finishes big and rich.
