Antoine Olivier – Les Charmes 2017 – Santenay

The nose is aromatic, racy and offers a fine richness. It reveals notes of wild blackberry, small black berries and small notes of black plum associated with touches of graphite, liquorice stick, cornflower as well as very discreet hints of nutmeg (in the background). The palate is fruity, juicy, well-balanced and offers a good definition, a fine tension as well as a fine acidulous frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of black cherry, crunchy/juicy red berries and small notes of juicy/crunchy blackberry associated with touches of rad fruits, cornflower, liquorice stick as well as discreet hints of mild tobacco/zan (in the background). Tannins are well-built and very finely firm. Good length.
