This is much more deeply pitched than usual with notes of earth and violets and while there are traces of red berry aromas, this hails more from the dark berry side of the fruit spectrum. There is excellent volume to the very rich and round middle weight plus flavors that possess a velvety mouth feel on the focused and impressively long finish. This also exhibits more depth of material than it usually does and this is one of the better Rousseau Charmes of recent years.
A lighter crimson. The Charmes strawberry fruit is as attractive as ever, but not much deeper in 2010 than the other vintages so far tasted. Some raspberry notes for once coming up behind, and there is just a touch of useful acidity to deliver some grip. Drink from 2020-2030. Tasted Nov 2025.
