Green-yellow. Aromas of stone fruits, lemon, clove and iodine. Dense, fat, solid and sweet, with hints of nut oil and toast. At once chewy and seamless, finishing very long and quite stylish, with some sexy oak tones. Still finishing its malo, and an infant today.
As good as the Chevalier is, and it's very, very good, this is indisputably at another level. A compelling nose of acacia blossom, ripe orchard fruit and exotic spice notes is followed by classy, pure and tautly muscled big-bodied flavors that possess both seriously impressive power and wonderful elegance, which continues onto the linear, multi-dimensional, dense, long, explosive and palate staining finish. A dramatic wine of sheer class that makes you say wow. Allen Meadows, Burghound , jul. 2009
