Very different in style from the 2010, this has less breadth through the palate, touches of rose stems and angular tannins, really a signature of Carmes Haut-Brion in these earlier years. Smoked earth and tobacco alongside blueberry and raspberry fruits. This has finesse and grace, and can be drunk now with a carafe. 3.59ph. First year with the new owner Patrice Pichet.
