This tiny jewel of a property, situated close to La Mission-Haut-Brion and Haut-Brion, has turned out one of the stars of the 2011 vintage. A deep dark ruby/purple color is followed by hints of graphite, charcoal, creme de cassis and Christmas fruitcake. This medium-bodied Pessac-Leognan is gorgeously concentrated with impeccably well-integrated acidity, tannin, alcohol and oak. An authoritatively long finish adds to the class and nobility of this wine. Drink it over the next 15 years. Score: 92 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2014-2029 01 April 2014 |

A light, elegant-styled wine with cool mint and flowery notes intermixed with spice box, red currants and sweet and sour cherries, the dark ruby-hued, medium-bodied 2011 Les Carmes Haut-Brion reveals a pleasant, but evolved style. It will require consumption in its first decade of life. Score: 87 - 89 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2012-2022 01 April 2012 |
