Tasted at the Cru Bourgeois annual tasting, the 2015 Chateau Laffitte Carcasset has a promising bouquet with blackberry, cranberry leaf and touches of blueberry on the nose, the oak nicely integrated here. The palate is medium-bodied with dusky, cocoa-tinged red and black fruit, the charring on the oak just coming across too dominantly on the finish. Tasted September 2017.
