One can’t say enough about the fabulous job proprietor Bernard Magrez has done in turning around this once case study in mediocrity. Since 2001, La Tour Carnet has been doing everything right, and the 2005 may be the finest wine this estate has produced in over fifty years. A blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it reveals an inky/purple color as well as a powerful nose of scorched earth, acacia flowers, blueberries, and black currants. Displaying an old style concentration with modern-styled tannins, it possesses fabulous richness, a full-bodied, powerful mouthfeel, terrific precision, and a wonderful sweetness to the fruit as well as tannin. A sleeper of the vintage, it should be drinkable in 5-7 years, and last for three decades.
