This is layered, very polished and beautiful with chocolate and berry character and hints of walnuts. It’s full and compact with brushed tannins. Really well crafted. On the same level as the 2015 and 2016. - James Suckling
Good texture, plenty of rich depth to this wine, clear difference in style and approach to the Château de Carles bottling. There are plentiful tannins, and a lip-smacking mouthwatering austerity that will soften over the next three to four years. Good quality. Drinking Window 2024 - 2036 - Jane Anson, Decanter
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Haut-Carles slowly opens to reveal notes of freshly crushed black cherries, ripe blackberries and black plums with touches of aniseed, red roses and forest floor plus a hint of iron ore. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed with tightly wound black fruit layers, framed by firm, ripe, grainy tannins and tons of freshness, finishing long and mineral laced. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate
The 2019 Haut-Carles from Château de Carles has a fresh and appealing bouquet with greater definition and vivacity than the regular bottling. The palate is well balanced with fine grain tannins, well judged acidity. A harmonious Fronsac with a smooth texture that glides across the finish. This is a very well crafted Fronsac, though it needs 5-6 years in bottle. - Neal Martin, Vinous Media
