critic reviews
La Tour Carnet 2018 is deep garnet purple in color. It offers cedar and dried herbs, with subtle notes of redcurrant jelly and cassis, plus a touch of crushed rocks. Medium-bodied, the palate has chewy tannins and a lively backbone, with an herbal finish.
The 2018 La Tour Carnet is not quite as overripe as I feared on the nose, though I have still tasted plenty of other vintages that show more delineation. It turns very earthy with aeration and over several hours of opening, if anything, closes up instead of opens. The palate is medium-bodied with dense, grippy tannins. There is adequate freshness here, although some sinew on the finish takes away from its finesse. Give this some bottle age and I suspect it will repay you.
