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.  — R.V.  (6/20/2006)

Château Sociando-Mallet 2006 Red (Haut-Médoc)

  • Cellar Selection
With a high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine has both structured and superbly rich fruit. The tannins are firm, but show a sweet, enticing edge to them, giving a full body and classic, fresh black currant acidity. An impressive wine, which definitely needs to age—five years or more.  — R.V.  (3/1/2009)
