Beautifully expressive nose of hazelnut and pain grillé with intense, structured yet quite generous flavors that display good flesh and fat. This is unusually fine for Charmes with excellent detail, minerality and above average length. Lovely, silky palate impression. Allen Meadows, Burghound Jul01,2001
