Château Carbonnieux
Traditional methods. The quality of the soil is enhanced by fertilizing with organic vegetable and animal waste. The wine is clarified by fresh egg whites and spends 20-22 months aging in barrels.
Wine Advocate
Surprisingly reminiscent of a Burgundy grand cru such as Corton, this 2005 Pessac-Leognan offers a dark ruby hue as well as beautifully sweet, leafy, black cherry, and smoky aromas intermixed with hints of oak and earth. Not a blockbuster, it is a wine of finesse, delicacy, and purity with lovely balance, good acidity, ripe tannin, and a sweetness that permeates the flavors as well as the tannic structure. It should be drinkable at a relatively young age. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2025.
Score: 91. —Robert Parker, April 2008.Wine Enthusiast
A soft but vivid wine, with spice, tannins and acidity over opulently ripe fruit. It is rounded, a wine that is likely to develop well over the next 5–6 years. Impressively drinkable.
Score: 90. —Roger Voss, June 01, 2008.Customers who purchased this item also bought:
