From Pessac-Léognan in Bordeaux, France, Château Carbonnieux Rouge 1996 is a dry red wine from a Graves Grand Cru Classé estate, made mainly from Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. Now mature, it shows aromas of blackcurrant, dried plum, cedar, tobacco, leather, graphite, forest floor, spice, and earthy mineral notes. The palate is medium-bodied and evolved, with softened tannins, balanced acidity, mature dark fruit, and a long savory finish. This Left Bank Bordeaux is a strong choice for those looking for a mature Pessac-Léognan with Graves classification, tertiary complexity, and ready-to-drink character.

Pair with roasted lamb, duck breast, beef tenderloin, mushroom risotto, braised short ribs, aged cheeses, game, or classic Bordeaux-style meats.
