2nd of 6, pnp, perfect cork and level, seems more concentrated with greater drive to fruit than first bottle in April 22, beginning of peak drinking with upside and more nuance to come, 15+ years. F+ (18).......Poissenot currently showing more complexity if less to it than Charmes which shows proper GC weight of material.

A fairly mature garnet/brown colour; the fruit is cherry and redcurrant, but as the wine is now quite mature it has taken on a more vegetal character. The palate is quite firm, and it has reasonable length. Will keep for a while yet, but I don’t see it improving.

1st of 6, pnp, perfect cork and level - darkish, mat ruby, little development; black cherry and plum, hint of spice and game, meat; med/full, ok length and persistence, nice balance, not particularly concentrated, more heft than expected, nearly there but upside yet, 10+ years. Just F+ (18).....half decanted and drunk on second night showed a little more nuance.....I've always found Geantet's Charmes reliable and continues to improve much longer than initially expected!

the nose is dominated by a fresh crushed red berries tone, very young and enjoyable. The message is however quite simplistic, lack of complexity. the palate is ok, good balance and freshness, but nothing exciting. overall, a good wine (and thus the 90) but in my view, considering the terroir, it comes short. second day was similar

This is intense, dark-fruited and succulent, with mature, gamey notes and good length. A fine Burgundy, now at its peak.
