The Limited Edition is only produced in very good years.
Carmel, Limited Edition, 2005: A Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Merlot and Cabernet Franc (65%, 17%, 15% and 3% respectively). Dark ruby toward garnet, medium to full-bodied, with generous soft tannins and reflecting its 15 months in barriques with light toasty and spicy oak. Blackberry and black cherry fruits on first attack, yielding to black currants and appealing hints of lead pencil and vanilla and, on the moderately long finish, a near-sweet and elegant tobacco note. Drink now–2013. Score 92 (Daniel Rogov)
Carmel, Limited Edition, 2004: A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Petit Verdot and 15% Merlot, showing soft tannins and generous but gentle wood, those in fine balance with currant, blackberry and black cherry fruits, all melding together with light hints of pepper, anise and cigar box aromas and flavors. Round and caressing, elegant and long. Drink now-2013 (Magnum : now-2018). Score 93. K (Daniel Rogov)
Carmel, Limited Edition, 2003: A full-bodied blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Petit Verdot, 17% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc. Deeply aromatic, with soft tannins and generous wood in fine balance with fruits and well-tuned acidity. On the nose and palate black currants, blackberries, spices and sweet cedar, all leading to a remarkably long and elegant finish. Drink now-2015 (Magnum: now-2018). Score 93. K (Daniel Rogov) |
