James Suckling
Fresh aromas of currants, berries, graphite, roasted red peppers and mineral. This is fresh and linear with medium body and plenty of fine-grained tannins. From a lighter vintage, this delivers the juiciness of the year.

Decanter
Cigar box, tobacco, leather, coffee, smoke and dark chocolate on the nose with perfumed blackcurrants. Ripe and chewy on the palate with these savoury elements of cinnamon, caramel, coffee and chocolate. Feels a little sombre right now, more calm than overtly expressive, but I like the overall smooth and weighty texture, not to mention the juicy side to the grippy, mouth-coating tannins. This has such an easy charm, yet still with a bold structure and lashings of spice. Characterful and a success in the vintage. Tasted twice.
Barrel Sample: 91 -
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2021 La Tour Carnet shows promise, exhibiting aromas of cherries and blackberries mingled with loamy soil and toasty new oak. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and generous, with lively acids and chalky grip, it's often among my favorites of the Magrez portfolio, and that's the case this year. Barrel Sample: 89 - 91

Jeb Dunnuck
The 2021 Château La Tour Carnet is an attractive, possibly outstanding, wine offering plenty of ripe red and black fruits, medium-bodied richness, a round, nicely texture mouthfeel, and classic Bordeaux dried herb and sandalwood nuances. It shows the fresher, more mid-weight style of the vintage but does everything right and should keep for 10-12 years or more. Barrel Sample : 88-90
