Black cherries, smoked herbs, and earthy notes all emerge from the 2017 Château Charmail, which is medium-bodied, fresh and lively, with bright acidity and moderate tannin. It's a clean, well-made Haut Médoc that will keep for 5-7 years. Tasted twice.

The 2017 Charmail is an attractive wine, but it is also a touch compact. Tobacco, dried herb and worn-in leather open up nicely. It will be interesting to see if the 2017 gains a bit more flesh during aging. There is good energy and freshness, but not a lot of meat on the bones. Tasted three times.

With soft, crisp, textures, the wine opens with ripe, chewy, black raspberries, red plums and spice. Already accessible with a bright, fresh, finish. Give it a few years and it will be quite tasty. The wine is made from blending 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 10% Petit Verdot.

The 2017 Charmail feels rather disjointed on the nose and lacked real presence. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannin, dry and rather mean towards the finish. This will be for early drinking only.

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Charmail gives black cherries and blackberries on the nose with wafts of potpourri and tapenade. The palate is medium-bodied, soft and juicy with appealing freshness and just a bit of chew on the finish.
