The 2016 Les Carmes Haut-Brion is a blend of 41% Cabernet Franc, 39% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in 65% new and 35% one-year-old oak for 22 months. This vintage represents one of the largest percentages of Cabernet Franc for this wine. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it gives notes of kirsch, black raspberries and black plums with touches of cassis, violets, chocolate box and pencil shavings. The palate is medium-bodied, firm, grainy and lively with loads of layers and a long, well-poised finish.

The 2016 Les Carmes Haut-Brion has quite a backward nose that opens nicely in the glass: blackberry, red brick/gravel, touches of undergrowth emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, fleshy and ripe, with good backbone. Weighty on the finish, with white pepper and bay leaf on the aftertaste, this is a very fine Les Carmes Haut-Brion. Tasted at Bordeaux Index's 10-Year-On tasting in London.
