Owner's words
Château La Tour Carnet 2021 shows a brilliant dark red color. On the nose, aromas of fresh fruit dominate, a bouquet made complet by a touch of vanilla. On the palate, the attack is franl, velvety and we notice the tannic balance and th elenght of this wine which persists until the finish.
