Description The horse is back, bigger, stronger and better than ever. Chateau des Charmes’ Equuleus is made from grapes harvested across the road at the Paul Bosc Vineyard and it is only made in the best years. The last time it surfaced was in 2002. This wine is a full on balls-to-the-wall red with a mixture of black and red fruit, strawberry, raspberry and cassis. The taste does not disappoint from the promise of the nose, following through with the dark fruits that include blackberries and black cherries. The tannins are smooth and supple, while the acidity keeps everything in check. What does this all mean to you? A wine that’ll age 10 years or more and get better with age … with all the elegance and finesse you’d expect from a wine bearing the Chateau des Charmes name “Equuleus”.
