Les Carmes Haut Brion - 2012 (750ml) Carricante very fine indeed - butBeautiful, Burgundian like aromas of burning embers, roasted Provencal herbs, black currants and sweet cherries and raspberries emerge from this medium bodied, elegant 2009 Pessac Leognan. Medium to full bodied and seductive with sweet tannins as well as a surprisingly evolved, precocious personality (even for a 2009), it will offer delicious drinking over the next 15+ years. This is another wine in which I noticed subtle bottle variation. Robert
