The Roty Charmes Chambertin 1996 is a big brute … pure but somewhat old school with more punch than caressses currently. In the bouquet very dense and weighty red and darkberry fruit, hints of soy, sous-bois – and powered by a quite powerful minerality lurking underneath the quite tightly wound fruit. On the palate considerable weight, with layers of fruit – quite atypical for this often edgy and bony vintage. Its a powerhouse – old school Charmes – with a lovely nerve and verve. Is at least 10 years from full maturity … drinkable now – but will be quite magnificent when it’s firing on all cylinders.
