This 2018 red is characterized by a beautiful deep purple color. On the nose the wine releases an aromatic bouquet of ripe fruit tinged with a slightly smoky sensation.The tannic structure on the palate is rich, long and soft with a smooth fleshy texture all perfectly balanced. The finish extends and produces the characteristics of a great vintage promising good ageing potential.

65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot. Ageing in oak barrels - 15 to 18 months (35-40 % new oak).

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Carbonnieux gives up wonderfully pure scents of ripe black cherries, mulberries and cassis, plus suggestions of Ceylon tea, black olive and lavender with a pinch of ground cloves. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers loads of spicy black fruit flavors, supported by grainy tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing with a peppery kick. Anticipated Maturity: 2023-2038
