June 11, 2023 - My colleagues and I hosted a Carmes H-B mini vertical last night to redefine the odds against the fabulous 2022 vintage. We can't put 100 points everywhere.
1) 2022 100/100
2) 2016 99/100
3) 2020-2021 98-99/100

February 20, 2023 - Had it in Grindelwald out of a Magnum
Not only size matters - vintage even more !
Terrible Wine - hands off. Drink a cheap Swiss Pinot Noir and you are much better of -

March 24, 2022 - Tasted after the 2006. Very herbal and green and almost a little stemmy on the nose and palate. Thin, acidity sticking out. Drink up. 87-89

March 24, 2022 - At the Wine Society Carmes Haut-Brion tutored tasting. To increase complexity and reduce the alcohol level (13.5%) there is some whole bunch fermentation and no second wine. The aim is to have balance, and complexity over weight and points chasing. Cepage is more like a St. Emilion at 59% Cab Franc, 22% Merlot, 19% Cab Sauvignon. Needs 20 minutes in a decanter. VG nose, farmy at first but this soon disappears. Good balance and OK length. Light fruit makes this an excellent lunch wine. A good wine in the context of a poor vintage and sadly overpriced at £75 in bond.
