Château Carbonieux 02

An impressive, vigorous, substantial wine that offers itself unabashedly in both nose and mouth. Fruit–cherries and raspberries–as well as licorice and, of course, the woody, vanilla, toasted notes, all expressed in a concise manner. Its elegance and balance stand out, reproducing its olfactory characteristics with moderation.
60% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot, 7% cabernet franc and 3% of malbec and petit verdot. Aged for 18 months in French oak barrels.
