An elegant, finesse-styled 2006, Les Carmes should put on weight given the fact that it includes a significant amount of Cabernet Franc in the blend. It offers fresh cherry, red, and black currant aromas interwoven with notions of mint, dusty, loamy soil, and burning embers. Medium-bodied, fresh, and pure, with moderate tannin as well as excellent depth, it may merit an outstanding rating if it puts on weight in the barrel and bottle. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2022.
