The 2009 Le Carillon du Chateau Rouge is ripe and pure, with fresh raspberry, cranberry, spices, floral, Arabica coffee and leather. Well structured with live acidity and a racy core leading to the long chocolate-laced finish, which shows impressive grip. 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc make up the blend.
