2009 was a stellar vintage in Bordeaux and Château La Tour Carnet produced an excellent wine.
The wine shows a mature and expressive profile, with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum layered with notes of cedar, tobacco, leather, and subtle earthy spice. On the palate, the wine is medium- to full-bodied, offering ripe dark fruit flavors balanced by well-integrated oak, hints of cocoa, and gentle savory undertones. The tannins are softened and polished with age, providing a smooth, structured mouthfeel, while the acidity adds freshness and length.

Terroir
Most of the hard work it takes to produce quality wine happens in the vinyard. The soil, the climatic conditions, the aspect, the bodies of water and many more factors, collectively knwon as "terroir" can influence the flavour of wine and give wine distint minerality, depth and character.
