"Ripe yet very pure fruit that is elegant and quite fine with rather forward, precise and punchy medium weight flavors of real complexity and class. This is on the lighter side compared to a classic vintage of Roty Charmes weight yet the detail and complexity are remarkable for the vintage. It is certainly approachable now but will clearly benefit from another 3 to 5 years of cellar time. In short, this is a terrific effort for the vintage. Drink 2009+"  Allen Meadows, Burghound, Jan 2008
