  Over extracted, secondary fermentation, there is nothing I like about this wine.

  I'm delighted to see the more recent reviews recognizing that this is indeed a very pleasant drink. That said, my last bottle of 6 had an odd "off" note, that perplexed me and made me lower my assessment of this wine. I simply can't imagine this wine is in decline. It's still far too young for that. But not to worry. If you have this, you possess a very enjoyable drink, and one I imagine you purchased at what has now made this a bargain drink.

  Tasted blind in tasting including Xavier94, I defer to his excellent note; thoroughly secondary in fast-track development; hint of brett, almost Rhône-ish, slightly poopy; reportedly sourced from Camus. 93+

  I have only ever had a very small handful of these wines but this Charmes was quite charming with a very developed nose (already) of leather, smoke and game with rhubarb, soil notes,incense, tea spice and a meaty/bacon fat quality- very Gevrey but no one would imagine this to be an ‘09, already. Gentle, soft tannin, with juicy acidity in the form of an orange zest note, again, common in much more devleloped wine. Very enjoyable but a bit on a fast track for ‘09 Grand Cru!! We all liked the aromatic detail. 94!

  Massive improvement. Smoky nose, a hint of menthol. Tannins are present but receding. Lacks complexity. Structure is quite fine.
