There is a hint of pineapple to the nose – against a creamy background. There is width here that seems to keep expanding! Very good intensity. Nicely long. A remarkably approachable Charlemagne for such a baby!

Another wine with very reticent aromatics – I can’t say anything here. In the mouth it’s concentrated and focused and has a nice intensity to it. Very long and just slightly savoury in the finish. Good Charlemagne!

A dense yet subdued nose, eventually providing a few higher tones. Good texture, showing in a linear yet quite wide way – it doesn’t narrow or widen as it goes into the mid-palate then the finish – and the finish is a very good one – it just keeps driving through. Not the muscle show of the 02 Guyon but anyway an accomplished wine that’s very Charlemagne.
