Charme Tinto

Tasted blind and had me jumping between Northern Rhône and Gevrey-Chambertin. Turns out it's a field blend from Douro with serious Burgundy DNA. Delicate but ripe, like a warm summer night - night flowers, blueberries, blackberries, cherries, venison, spices, vanilla, underbrush, and balsamic notes. Medium-bodied, harmonious, silky, slightly syrupy but effortlessly drinkable thanks to good minerality and acidity. Oak and tannins perfectly integrated. Well played, Vasyl - same trick as with that Coche Branco 2017, but I'm not complaining when the wines are this delicious.
