  "Lots of blueberries and flowers on the nose. Full body, with very chewy tannins and a citrus undertone with the berry. Structured and racy. Better in 2016."

  "One of those hidden little gem estates, the 2009 Château Charmail is a more Merlot-dominated red that includes 47% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the balance Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Despite being a big, ripe, sexy beauty of a wine, it has a remarkable sense of freshness and purity, and it only gains in stature with time in the glass. Offering lovely notes of red and black currants, chocolate, tobacco leaf, earth, and truffle, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, beautiful tannins, no hard edges, and a great finish. Don't be afraid to give well-stored bottles plenty of air. This awesome little Margaux will continue evolving gracefully for another 10-15 years."

  "Dunkles Granat, recht satt in der Mitte, rubinroter Rand. Schönes Cassis- und Brombeerbouquet, reife Cabernet-Anzeige. Stoffiger Gaumen, zwischen blauen und schwarzen Beeren wechselnd, massives Extrakt mit Lakritztouch, wirkt etwas zu stark extrahiert, kann aber gewiss noch zulegen."

  The Wine Advocate
  "This is another over-achieving estate that tends to produce wines with lots of intensity and structure. This wine certainly has the formidable intensity one expects from Charmail, but the tannins are silky smooth and the result is the sexiest Charmail to date. An opulent, even voluptuously textured wine, full-bodied and dense purple in color, it is a seductive blend of 47% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. It was bottled unfined and unfiltered and came in with natural alcohols of 14%. The low acidity, plush fruit and silky tannins all suggest drinking this over the next decade. It is another sleeper of the vintage, of which there is nearly an endless supply in this great year."
