›Charme 2002‹ is a fascinating wine. It's made from low yielding vines picked a little early, with 100 % stem contact. 'I want it to be light, concentrated and long', says Dirk. This shows ripe chocolatey edged fruity on the nose - ripe and full. Black fruits dominate with tarry richness and some new oak. There's great elegance and finesse, with a rich spicy finish. Interesting stuff. Charme has so far only been made in tiny quantities and is hard to find, but retails for about the same as ›Batuta‹.
