It was made using 52% whole cluster and has 13.75% alcohol. It is anticipated to age 18-24 months in 75% new oak barriques, 16% foudres and 9% amphorae. Deep garnet-purple colored, it is slightly broody and reduced to begin, slowly growing to reveal notions of charcoal, smoked meats, truffles and tilled soil over a core of black raspberries, warm black cherries, blackberry coulis and redcurrant jelly plus wafts of Provence herbs and iron ore. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is taut and muscular, tense with latent energy, offering a rock-solid backbone of firm, grainy tannins and bold freshness to support the bright, vibrant fruit, finishing long and mineral laced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScore: 94\/96+\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ci\u003eLisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate (April 2019), April 2019\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is really exotic with peaches, oranges and blackberries.

A wine of dazzling intensity and stature, Les Carmes Haut-Brion is simply magnificent. Rose petal, wild black cherry, sage, menthol, licorice and dried herbs add myriad shades of complexity to this explosive, dense wine. As always, Les Carmes is done with a fair amount of whole clusters, 40% in this case, but in 2018, the maturity is such that the stems are very well integrated into the wine’s fabric. The blend is 37% Cabernet Franc, 34% Merlot and 29% Cabernet Sauvignon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScore: 95\/98\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ci\u003eAntonio Galloni, vinous.com, May 2019\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003csection data-liuqs-content=\"verified-context\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"site-brand-context\"\u003eListed by \u003cstrong\u003eFlowers by Richard NYC | Same Day Flower Delivery NYC\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"site-context-note\"\u003eFree Shipping on All Orders · New Store Launch Deals End in 30 Days!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"verified-product-facts\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVendor:\u003c\/strong\u003e My Store\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTags:\u003c\/strong\u003e Skincare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42986544103509,"sku":"cs_11886","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/9630\/0117\/files\/kwh0j99cdk1c_12269858-76e1-4c66-9da4-b478ccf09c17.jpg?v=1789263815","url":"https:\/\/willowcreekspirits.com\/products\/ch-teaulescarmeshautbrion2018-75c3ax","provider":"Willow Creekspirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
