Anthony Rose: Charlie (disgorged 1986) Remarkable freshness on the nose, even if it is now just starting to show its maturity with a display of honeyed, toasty, and nutty notes; still a gentle prickle on the tongue, seriously vinous fruit with a gentle mousse of rich bubbles; a finely textured style with underlying nutty notes and real vinosity, and, even though it is starting to show some age, it still manages to look elegantly graceful as it approaches 40 years old.
