Lisa Perrotti Brown 30. November 2018
The 2016 Charmail is blended of 42% Cabernet Sauvignon. 36% Merlot. 12% Cabernet Franc and 10% Petit Verdot aged for 12 months in 33% new. 33% one-year-old and 33% two-year-old French oak barrels. Deep garnet-purple in color. it delivers intense scents of crème de cassis. cedar chest and pencil lead with touches of yeast extract and menthol. Medium to full-bodied with a firm frame of chewy tannins and plenty of mint-laced fruit. it finishes just a little woody at this youthful stage but should dial that in beautifully with another year or two in bottle.
Verkostungsbericht aus Januar 2019:
The 2016 Charmail has turned out beautifully. Dark cherry. plum. bittersweet chocolate. leather. tobacco and spice give the 2016 notable richness and density. Powerful and very ripe in style. the 2016 has so much to offer. The 2016 is a big wine with tons of character and sheer personality.
