I've had Charvin in very many vintages from the early nineties to now. But I never tasted a bottle of Charvin that tastes like this. Disjointed, hot dark fruit on top of green unripe bellpeppers... As weird as you can imagine. I have no clue what's going on, I'm positive that it's not a bottle fault, but I'm not so positive for the remaining bottles in my cellar. Luckily not too many.

Completely maderized and over the hill. This wine was either too young and not showing, and now too old? Disappointing. Will try another bottle soon. Bad bottle? Let's hope. But I'm not sure really.
