This is impressive but perhaps slightly less well-balanced than either the Charmes or the Latricières

smoky palate with roasted richness

It's not just the insane level of concentration

INAO is mandating that it be declared as Charmes

Aurage other_regions_italy This is impressive but perhapsDeep garnet with bricky rim. More lifted than the 2007, deliciously spiced on the nose, a succulent spicy sweetness and just a hint of maturity in those mulched leaf notes. Structure is a little firmer here, both in the tannins and the acidity but even so it is really harmonious and elegant on the long finish. Moreish and mouth watering. Oak now nicely in the background. (JH)
