Chateau La Tour Carnet 2016

• Color: Deep garnet with hints of mahogany and a touch of ruby.
• Aromas: A complex bouquet of black cherry, blackberry, blackcurrant, plum, licorice, and tobacco, with spicy notes of cinnamon and roasted hints of charred wood.
• Palate: Generous, with a velvety texture and fine, well-integrated tannins. It has ripe fruit flavors and a long, balanced finish.
• Grape Blend: 60% Merlot, 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 3% Cabernet Franc.
• Aging: Aged in barrels for 16 months, with 30% new oak. 

• • Production: This was the first vintage made in the new winery, allowing for separate vinification of different cuvées and a reduction in new wood use.

• Tasting notes: Tasters have described it as ripe, open, and seductive, with remarkable inner perfume and subtlety. Others have noted it has more freshness and delineation than some other wines from the same estate, with a silky texture and fine, present tannins. 

• Beef, venison, lamb, and other classic meat dishes.
• Roast duck, chicken, and game.
• Hearty fish courses, mushrooms, and pasta.
• Christmas dishes, such as capon stuffed with truffle and chestnut confit. 

A bright pale yellow color with green highlights, with a stream of many fine bubbles. Intense with notes of  tropical fruits and citrus. Creamy and smooth, very pleasant and well balanced.

Rosé Imperial displays a pink color with amber highlights. Lively and intense, the bouquet exudes red fruits (wild strawberry, raspberry, cherry) with floral nuances of rose and a slight hint of pepper. On the palate, the wine shows a juicy intensity of berries (strawberry, raspberry, red currant) rounded out by the fleshiness and firmness of peach and the freshness of a subtle note of mint.

Tasting Panel: Lovely pink hue; fresh, fragrant, and smooth with notes of strawberry and apple; elegant and long.

Wine Spectator: Delicate verbena and candied pink grapefruit zest accents lead to macerated blackberry, toasted nut and saline notes in this balanced and creamy rosé, with well-cut acidity.

Wine & Spirits: This blend is mostly Pinot Noir and Meunier, including 10 percent red wine for color. Chardonnay accounts for 10 to 20 percent, including a portion of reserve wines that may be providing the oceanic, oyster-shell notes that bring to mind Champagne's Kimmeridgean limestone. This is broad and loose up front, with fruity scents of orange and pomegranate. Then the wine keeps buzzing with brisk acidity, tightening up and extending the flavors with energy. An impressive release of Imperial.

James Suckling: A complex and fresh nose with fresh berries, as well as berry pastry and biscuits. The palate has a fresh, crisp and lively feel with impressively upbeat berries. Drink now.

Decanter: Restrained red fruit nose. Long, rolling palate, fresh and crisp throughout, with abundant cranberry, sherbet lemon, green herb and ginger flavours.

Classic Grand Cavalier brandy is a legendary drink noted for its mild and long-lasting taste. It has a hint of freshly toasted bread and sweetish dried fruit. The aftertaste contains notes of cinnamon and exotic fruit.

The rich aroma of Grand Cavalier allows the brandy to stand out from others: long aging process in oak barrels provides the brandy with exclusive taste characteristics and unique aroma of flowers and nuts.

In 2011, this brandy was awarded a silver medal at the prestigious International Wine and Spirits Competition.
