Note di degustazione
38% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, and roughly 13% each of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Macerated for 15 days at 5 °C and fermented in stainless steel also for 15 days. Malolactic conversion completed. Aged for 12 months in French oak, one-third new. Bottled between 4 and 13 April 2016. RS 0 g/l, TA 5.49 g/l, pH 3.63. Total SO 2 75 mg/l, free SO 2 16 mg/l. Blackish ruby. Just a hint of Band-Aid, which I don’t object to, but some might. Then a sweet, flattering palate and still a long way to go. Slight lack of fruit. (JR)

The 2014 Charmail has a ripe, quite opulent (for the vintage) bouquet with raspberry, crushed strawberry and melted tar scents. There is great precision here. The palate is medium-bodied with plush, supple tannin, cloaked in blackberry and raspberry fruit, brown spices and a pleasant chewiness towards the finish. Maybe a little rustic compared to its peers, but I think this will age extremely well. Tasted February 2017.
The 2014 Charmail is gorgeous. Dark, exuberant and juicy, it offers notable depth and intensity. Succulent black cherry, licorice, torrefaction, lavender and savory herbs all burst forward. Drink this ripe, hearty Haut-Médoc over the next handful of years. The blend is 38 % Merlot, 35 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 16 % Cabernet Franc and 11 % Petit Verdot. Tasted two times.
The 2014 Charmail is bold and intense. Super-ripe dark cherries, smoke, tobacco, licorice and cloves all jump from the glass in an exuberant, boisterous wine loaded with juiciness, richness and texuture. There is a lot of considerable appeal. The blend is 38% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Cabernet Franc and 11% Petit Verdot.
