This is bright and pure, with a vivid structure, featuring cherry, strawberry, floral, spice and stone flavors. Firm, lingering with mineral and spice accents on the finish. Shows excellent potential. Best from 2019 through 2033. 10 cases imported. — BS (04/2016)

Dark red; the brightest color of these 2013s. Sexy scents of red and darker berries and dried flowers. Large-scaled, pliant, plush and sweet, with raspberry and cherry fruit complemented by flowers, tobacco and underbrush. This silky, seamless wine expands to fill the olfactories without showing any weightiness. Wonderfully sweet, rich Charmes with outstanding early sex appeal. Finishes with lush tannins and terrific persistence.- Stephen Tanzer (03/2016)
