My last bottle. Still holding up very well, this opens up with funky, animal nose. Lots of character on the palate, still plenty of red cherry fruit, pure and focused as usual for Charvin. Some tertiary notes of sois-bois and earth. Lovely friend to have for 15 years.

From magnum. Still going strong. Light red color, funky/horsey nose, nice core of light red fruit along with tertiary flavors on the palate. There is nothing 2003 about this wine. This has never had a closed moment. Tremendous wine.

Still youthful, this opens up with a funky, farmy, red-fruited nose. I've always liked the very obvious Grenache character of this wine, the fruit is pure, round and concentrated with marks of kirsch and framboise, not at all over the top, just very charming. There is a gentle marks of spices and earth underneath, but the fruit is still on top. Great wine, no rush.
