"Here the nose is extremely high-toned with a mix of red raspberry and a hint of cranberry balanced off by subtle earth and spice notes that introduce rich, full and relatively generous middle weight flavors that possess better mid-palate density as well as slightly better persistence on the firm and delicious finish. This is really quite fine for Charmes, indeed unusually so. [Fom both Charmes proper and Mazoyères.] Allen Meadows, Jan 01, 2009 |
