  June 20, 2020 - After 16 years we can finally taste and judge this wine on its merits rather than on the vintage. Stewed, baked, jammy? No. I found this to be the firm, smoky and feral NSG that I would expect from Chevillon. This gives me hope for the rest of my long-sleeping 2003 stash. Excellent.

  September 23, 2016 - Ten years into the 2003 vintage and I guess the form it's taking now is what it's always going to be. This is actually better than the last few 2003s I've had in that it's not chemically off or badly imbalanced, but it's not especially appealing either and only distantly tastes like Burgundy. It has very ripe aromatics - surprisingly fruity for its age, and ripe without crossing the line into jamminess or figginess. Instead it's more of a saucy fruit concentration. But none of that fruitiness translates to the palate, which is starting to show a faded patina and really needs some food in order for any of the fruit sweetness to poke through. It's a weird incongruity, aromatics that suggest a wine that's going to be fat and sweet but instead of tasting like a New World pinot, it hews to the general proportions of Burgundy while being hollowed out in the middle.

  January 2, 2016 - Slow-ox 30 minutes, tasted over 3 hrs and day 2
  -dark maroon with mild bricking
  -plum ripe cherry stewed prunes slight scorched element
  -lower acidity, med weight/concentration with some faded but quite sweet plum/black fruit over an earthy core, coffee notes with a little heat and residual med tannins on the average length finish; tannins better integrated and cooked features less prominent on day 2
  -OK but not particularly transcending the vintage, might have a couple years of upside to resolve more of the tannic structure

  October 4, 2015 - Better than I remember the '03 Chevillons being on release, this isn't roasted or pruney, but it is very ripe and a tad flabby. Popular at table, but for me lacking any NSG character - more like Cali PN. B-/C+
