  January 25, 2024 - Oh, the acidity. I tried 24 hours of air, on a wing and a prayer. Nope. Really hoping my other bottles don’t have this excessive VA. Whew, gonna need some milk. And I don’t like milk.

  November 29, 2022 - (Imported by Weygant-Metzler, PA). 82% Grenache, and roughly 5% Syrah, 5% Mourvèdre, 5% Vaccarèse, 5% Counoise. Raised in concrete tank. Organic viticulture.
  __________
  
  Color: Med-dark ruby. Classic.
  
  Nose: Beautiful, pure, expressive nose of black cherry liqueur, black cherry kirsch, wild black raspberry, smoke, garrigue spices (herbs, shrub), and licorice. Beautiful purity.
  
  Palate: Full body. Intense front and mid palate. Excellent concentration of flavor. Lovely, saturated flavors of sweet black cherry, black raspberry, and garrigue wild herbs. Long finish. Medium dry tannins and sl phenolic. 15.5% alc, but no heat per se on the finish.
  
  93-94 pts. now.
  94-95 potential.
  This Domaine Charvin drinks beautifully right now (late-2022), it's wonderfully balanced and not austere. But it is undeveloped. This would definitely benefit from at least 2-3 more years in bottle. The sweet spot for drinking will be 2026-2029.

  October 6, 2022 - Aromas of cooked berries, black plum, kirsch, dark chocolate, a little figs, herbs and lavender. Full-bodied, great acidity for Chateauneuf, this has a gorgeous tart fresh fruit character underneath layers of candied, cooked and dried fruit, significant tannin is fine and will turn velvety in time. Long and coating finish. This has impeccable balance and great intensity, and should be worth following 10+, if not 20.
  
  Day two finds this in very fine form: olives, brighter berries, fresher floral tones and deeper chocolate have taken form... I would love to see this on 15 years, as I'm sure it will have blossomed into something extraordinary.
