"A complete wine rich and opulent. It has all the right balances of acidity sweet fruits black flavors and underlying dry tannins. Excellent."

"A gorgeous effort from this tiny gem the 2005 Les Carmes is their best wine since 1998 and 2000. Situated in a beautiful park behind Haut-Brion this estate fashioned a deep ruby-colored 2005 boasting a brilliantly projected set of aromatics (kirsch smoke scorched earth chocolate leafy tobacco and creosote). Its full body is somewhat unexpected given the aromatics? delicacy and nuance. Zesty acidity sweet tannin and a light but substantial classic traditional style are found in this offering which represents a synthesis in style between a grand cru Cote de Beaune Burgundy (such as a Corton) and a great Graves.
