Tasting notes
The 1978 was made during a period when Carbonnieux was not renowned for its red wines. The wine has turned out to be a light, delicate, fruity Graves with some herbaceous, earthy notes in the bouquet, and soft, round, medium-bodied flavors. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 3/86.
