2023 Chateau Les Carmes Haut-Brion Pessac-Leognan (Pre-Arrival) $51-100 Organically Farmed there will be good wines100 points, The Wine Advocate "The 2022 Les Carmes Haut Brion is the finest wine bottled to date at this estate under Patrice Pichet's ownership and Guillaume Pouthier's direction. Unfurling from the glass with aromas of violet, iris, dark wild berries, pencil lead and mulberries, it's medium to full bodied, deep and concentrated with a deep core of fruit beautifully framed by velvety, precise tannins, segueing into a long, saline and perfumed finish.
