On the nose, expect an aromatic bouquet featuring ripe dark fruit aromas, such as blackberries and plums, intertwined with hints of red fruit like cherries. There might also be subtle notes of spices, possibly cloves or nutmeg, and a touch of cedar or tobacco, adding complexity and depth to its fragrance.

Upon tasting, this wine offers a rich and structured palate. You might encounter flavors of dark fruits, complemented by nuances of baking spices, possibly accompanied by hints of leather or a touch of vanilla from oak aging. The wine's well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity contribute to its depth and age-worthiness.

The finish tends to be enduring and sophisticated, with the wine's fruit, spice, and possibly earthy elements lingering gracefully, leaving a lasting impression.

The Bernard Magrez Les Pensées de la Tour Carnet 2016 is an esteemed red wine originating from the renowned Bordeaux region of France. Crafted under the expertise of Bernard Magrez, this wine represents a prestigious expression from the Château La Tour Carnet estate.

Fresh and clean second wine with bright fruit and dried flowers. Medium body. Tangy finish.

The 2015 Les Pensées de La Tour Carnet, the property's second wine, is a forward, mid-weight red with lovely aromatic presence and good near-term appeal. I would prefer to drink it over the next few years, while the fruit remains bright. The blend is 59% Merlot, 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc.
