Score 91/100 · Drink 2018-2023, Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, Aug 2018
Beautifully perfumed with touches of garrigue and licorice, Charvin's 2016 Cotes du Rhone le Poutet is 81% Grenache, with the balance a blend of Mourvèdre, Carignan and Syrah. Ripe and exotic, it shows notions of peach and stone fruit alongside hints of berries and cherries; a firm, concentrated backbone; and a lingering, silky-textured finish. All whole cluster and made all in concrete, it's a throwback in terms of style, but it leaves a lasting impression.

Baked red fruit, simple spices, light body and astringent tannic finish. Raw and simple to finish. (RH)
