The 2014 Le C des Carmes Haut-Brion, Pessac-Léognan, is a refined and balanced wine with deep ruby-red colour and aromas of dark fruits like blackberries and plums, along with earthy notes of tobacco and graphite. As it opens, hints of floral, cedar, and leather add complexity. On the palate, it offers rich flavours of blackcurrant and blackberry, complemented by subtle liquorice and tobacco, all supported by fresh acidity and well-integrated oak. The finish is long, with minerality and a touch of smokiness, showcasing great aging potential while remaining elegant and enjoyable now.
