Tasting notes
(a 50/50 blend of Charmes and Mazoyères): Good medium ruby. Brooding aromas of medicinal black cherry and bitter chocolate complicated by a spicy element. Very dense, concentrated and savory, conveying grand cru depth of texture and subtle sweetness but still quite primary and even a bit stunted today. Finishes with surprisingly suave tannins and a building spiciness.
