Description:

This is a stern, chiselled Carruades with all the typical splendour decanted into a slimline, firm, narrow-hipped model.  There is considerable action on the back of the palate, which changes the direction of the energy flow, resulting in a distinct game of two halves.  At first, there is glamour and grandeur, driven by a calmness of attack which suits this label, and then it firms up with superb bitterness and acid/tannin tension.  Yum.  I cannot wait to see how ‘24 Carruades ages.  It has all the ingredients for a long and fascinating life.

"Gorgeous deep plum colour, very juicy, extremely well handled, savoury and mouthwatering, cassis bud, roses, crayon... this has plenty of subtle pleasure and will be ready to drink sooner than usual. Drink 2029-2040."
95 Points, Jane Anson
