This is markedly less elegant with its overtly sauvage character on the complex mix of red and dark currant, earth, underbrush and discreet floral hints. There is more obvious volume and power to the big-bodied flavors that possess both good concentration and excellent power, all wrapped in a serious, austere and rustic finish that presently is much less complex than the Charmes. It's of course possible that this will add more depth than I imagine but the Charmes appears to have more upside potential at this early juncture.
