The flat out brilliant nose soars from the glass in a complex and absolutely elegant mélange of red and black cherries, a touch of blood orange, grilled meats, bacon fat, profound soil tones, coffee, fresh herbs and new wood. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very refined on the attack, with amazing mid-palate depth, ripe tannins, tangy acids and amazing intensity of flavor on the beautifully soil-driven and complex finish. An utterly stunning Roty Charmes! \u003ci\u003e(Drink between 2022-2075)\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003e97points\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-2\"\u003eBy Allen Meadows\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.burghound.com\/tnsearch\/index.php?op=zoom\u0026amp;id=90448\" target=\"_external\"\u003eBurghound\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cellartracker.com\/list.asp?table=Channel\u0026amp;ProPublication=Burghound\u0026amp;ProIssue=January+2011\"\u003eJanuary 2011\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cellartracker.com\/list.asp?table=Channel\u0026amp;ProPublication=Burghound\u0026amp;ProIssueNumber=41\"\u003eIssue #41\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003eA pungent mix of wood spice, earth, red berry fruit, game, smoke and an interesting menthol note highlights the moderately animale character of the rich, full, refined and pure broad-shouldered flavors underpinned by ripe and very firm tannins that culminate in a moderately austere and still very backward finish. This will require moderate cellar time to be at its best, which at this early stage I would estimate at 12 to 15 years. \u003ci\u003e(Drink starting 2020)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e93points\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSteve Tanzer\u003cbr\u003eInternational Wine Cellar\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMedium red.  Closed but pure nose offers dark berries, minerals, flowers, iron and tobacco.  Dense, silky and sweet, with terrific floral lift to the middle palate.  A wonderfully aromatic, floral midweight of great finesse.  Best today on the very long, subtle finish, which lingers with cherry, spices and flowers.  This should evolve at a snail's pace. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e94 points\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vins Rare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46037347139823,"sku":"3270","price":289.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/7140\/9135\/files\/Roty_20Charmes_20Chambertin_f4309fe4-7eb1-451a-b51d-55d91607950e.jpg?v=1731312026","url":"https:\/\/vinsrare.com\/products\/2008-roty-charmes-chambertin-tre-vieilles-vignes","provider":"Vins Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
