Chateau Charmail 2020

- 90 Punkte VINOUS, Neal Martin: „The 2020 Charmail has a harmonious, quite floral bouquet with plenty of violet-inged black fruit. I admire the purity here.The palate is well balanced with pliant tannins, well-integrated oak, a melange of red and black fruit mixed with blood orange towards the finish. There is something almost „flirty“ about this Haut-Medoc!“

- 91 Punkte FALSTAFF, Peter Moser: „Kräftiges Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, breitere Ockerrandaufhellung. Frische rote Kirschfrucht, zart nach Lakritze, Orangenzesten, tabakige Nuancen. Saftig, elegant, rotbeerige Frucht, integrierte Tannine, frisch strukturiert, zart nach dunklem Nougat, salziger Nachhall.“

- 91 Punkte JEB DUNNUCK: „I always enjoy the wines from this château, and their 2020 Château Charmail is up-front and forward, with beautiful red and black fruits as well as some spicy, dried tobacco, and subtle oak aromas and flavors. Based on 40% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot, raised in one-third new barrels, one-third used oak, and one-third concrete eggs, this medium to full-bodied, balanced, rock-solid Haut-Médoc is perfect for drinking any time over the coming 10-15 years.“

- 92 Punkte JAMES SUCKLING: „Ripe dark plums, cassis and some fine, baking spices and minerals to the nose. The round, medium- to full-bodied palate has nice, mid-palate tension with fine-grained tannins and bright cherry fruit. There is lovely finesse here. Drink now or hold.“
