    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    50.6% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42.2% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 2.2% Petit Verdot. It doesn't matter what we say or what the critics say, this will be one of if not the most sought after wine in this campaign. There has been a steady improvement in quality here, but it is certainly not as impressive as its stable mate Duhart Milon, although it will command a much heftier price... Pretty, fragrant nose of sweet red berries, slate and flowers. Bright and concentrated on the palate, with searing cassis fruit, beautiful classy texture, fine tannins and a mineral finish.

    Stephen Tanzer,

    Bright ruby-red. Open-knit, fruity nose offers plenty of charm to its strawberry, blackcurrant and floral aromas. Fresh and juicy on the palate, with red cherry and fresh blackcurrant flavors complicated by flinty and floral nuances. This easygoing, fragrant Carruades is hard to resist drinking up right now.
