Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

The 2022 Château Charmail is terrific, as well as a great value in the vintage. Deep purple-hued, it’s loaded with ripe black cherry, cassis, and graphite notes, with a subtle touch of smoky oak in the background. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has present tannins and terrific overall balance. It needs short-term cellaring to let the tannins soften, but it has loads of character and depth. Give this classic, well-made Haut-Médoc 3-4 years in the cellar and enjoy over the following 15 years or more.
