A Couple of TNs

2001 Charvin CdP
Mature aromas and flavors of leather, black olive, hints of garrigue, some dark cherry fruit. Palate coverage is quite good
and this bottle retains much elegance. Way better than the roasted fig character of a bottle last year. Drank with a friend in his garage and with charcuterie accompaniment to celebrate another day of living.

2007 Huet Vouvray Petillant
Gold color, much more open and honeyed (yet dry) than previous steely showings for this bottling. Delicious.

Charvin is one of the best wines you can drink. What a great note. I love that one too.

Had the 01 Charvin last month. Similar note. Really has a northern Rhone thing goon on with the olive.

Interesting. There was huge bottle variation in the 2002.
