La Goutte Rouge: The wine is very rare and the top product from Chateau Seguin; Tastes just as good as the la Mission Haut Brion; Top vintage 2016; Jeb Dunnuck über: Chateau Les Carmes Haut Brion -- Jeb Dunnuck: I wasn't able to taste the 2019 Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion from barrel, but it certainly brings the goods from bottle. Deep ruby/purple-hued, with a smorgasbord-like array of red, blue, and black fruits as well as violets, candied flowers, tobacco, and sappy herbs, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a deep, layered, concentrated mouthfeel, flawless balance, and that rare mix of power and elegance that truly great Pessac can deliver. Showing the more elegant style of the vintage, it checks in behind the magical, perfect 2018 but is very much in the style of the 2016. Readers will love having this beauty in the cellar, and it will evolve for 40-50 years if stored correctly. Hats off to winemaker Guillaume Pouthier for another thrilling wine. 98/100 Lobenberg fo La Goutte Rouge you would like to try a relatively drinkable but still youthful, very opulent La Mission Haut Brion or even a stylish, almost Californian Carmes Haut Brion with perfect use of new wood and typical, almost brutal fruit pressure at a third of the price with the same quality: here we are ! Sit back and dream. If you're not completely blown away and positively overwhelmed here like I am, then Bordeaux is the wrong area for you. In terms of style and class, it sits between Shafers Hillside-Select, Dominus Estate and La Mission Haut Brion. Great, sensually fine and at the same time brutally intense fruit dream material! 100+/100
