  Dark fruit, oak spice, meat, and ink. Robust and masculine Dugat PY Charmes but still a bit unresolved.

  #1 of 3. It was time to try the first bottle, from the first parcel of Dugat Py I ever purchased. I had limited experience with his wines but i liked the few that I have tasted and decided to add some DPy to my cellar. This survey parcel included 3 of the 1995, 1998 and 3 the 1999 Charmes and three of the 2000 and 2001 Mazi. This first bottle has sitting in my cellar, waiting till today...
  
  I opened this at 11:00 and found a big, jammy fruited nose, the core was dark with some signs of age visible at the rim. Took a quick sip to confirm it was sound. Poured it in a decanter swirled it for a couple of minutes, tasted it again and was happy it would get a full five hour decant.
  
  Met my friends at 4:30 we poured glasses and this was now more open and ready for business. Clearly big in most ways, lots of tart dark cherry fruit. The scale, texture and frame of this wine was clearly Grand. Grippy tannins played well with the tartness and purity of fruit while the acidity balances the wines impressive richness. Long finish bright future. I’ll wait 5 years for bottle #2

  Big rich nose and plenty of aromatics, typical of this producer, who makes wines in quite a full-on style. Big rich mouthful, savoury. earthy notes are prominent. Some farmyard, and underbrush backed by bramble fruit. This is a brooding wine, which, one senses, has not opened fully. Question is when will it open up? plus 5 or 10 years? or will it jump straight to tertiary without passing Go?

  captivating aroma with all the usual dugat-py traits of robust ripeness. didn't really follow through on the finish though.

  "Bring your Best" Reno tasting (Mark and Megan's): Decanted 90 minutes. This was a fairly deep violet red with minimal (no) browning. It had a completely captivating nose of deep red fruits and berries but with equally expressive flowers, asian as well as peppery spices, earth, pine, toast and slight vanilla. The nose would not let its spell off of you. The palate was fruit-driven with a light touch, but with layers of flavors and a terrific balance. Mouth-coating finish with complexity and length. The next morning this was every bit as expressive as the evening before, but it did, mercifully, finally come completely apart the following evening.
