John Gilman 94 pts! The 1998 Roty Charmes is beginning to really spread its wings, and was showing brilliantly the last time I had the wine. The bouquet is deep and complex, offering up a heady blend of cassis, plums, black cherries, grilled meats, chocolate, mustard, minerals and a generous coating of toasty new oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, deep and complex, with a rock solid core of fruit, well-integrated tannins, bright acids, and outstanding length and grip on the finish. This is certainly cut from the oakier side of the vintage, but the wine is balanced and showing extremely well. (Drink between 2006 - 2020)
