Chateau La Tour Carnet, Bordeaux Blanc 2018

The 2018 La Tour Carnet Blanc was picked September 10-18 and bottled in April 2019. Perhaps it is just missing the personality of the 2017 on the nose, though it opens nicely with aeration to reveal yellow fruit and granite aromas. The palate is actually better than the nose, featuring crisp acidity, yellow fruit, plum and a touch of orange peel, with fine delineation toward the finish. Drink over the next three to six years.
