Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 16
(true Charmes): Good medium red. Sexy, soil-inflected perfume of cherry, redcurrant, mocha, black pepper, underbrush, cinnamon and dried flowers. Sweet and plush on the palate but with a firm spine of acidity giving shape and thrust to the intense flavors of red fruits, sous-bois and dried flowers. Classic Charmes, offering a lovely balance of salinity and red fruits. Finishes vibrant, precise and long, with sneaky energy extending the fruit and leaving the mouth fresh and perfumed.
