Tasted next to the Janasse VV from the same vintage. The Charvin was more red fruited and more tightly wound; unwilling to show all of its cards at the moment but there is undoubtedly a lot of character. Fiercely tannic. This has a bright future.

Notes of leather and mushrooms are beginning to join the beautiful brambles and candied red rope licorice fruit. While still a very delicious wine, it has lost a bit of the freshness that was so compelling upon release. This was my last 2014 Charvin and I’m happy to be drinking it now. Bottle No. 10409

It would have been even more delightful the next day but couldn't stop , enjoyed it too much as is.

At the Spectrum wine direct. Didn't rate. Good, much fruitier; nice and complex but sweeter than the others.
