  January 7, 2023 - From an excellent looking bottle, this wine had a deep yellow/light gold center and clear rims. The medium intensity nose generated apricot, lemon, almond paste, and white stone notes.
  
  In the mouth, this wine was rich and ripe with firm acidity and very good length.
  
  This wine was shaped more like a Batard than a Chevalier but that is a pretty minor grievance. This was attractive and ready to drink. However, it should easily last 5 years.

  November 13, 2019 - Rich and tropical but balanced out with moderate plus acidity. It held up in the glass very well for a good three hours. Very nice on its own but shy to a superb 90 Niellon CM. 92+

  September 26, 2018 - Very mature and medicinal, saline - salty minerals. Definite oxidation. Took some time to come around but wonderful on the palate and excellent cut for a time - again some ox, medicinal and saline. Caramel/saline finish. Nose - 4.5/6, Palate - 5/6, Finish - 5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1-1.5/2 = 15.5-16/20.

  June 4, 2016 - From a bottle purchased on release, this wine had a deep center and clear rims. The medium intensity nose displayed citrus, acacia flowers, almond paste, apples, and white stone.
  
  In the mouth, this wine quite subtle and a bit watery at first. Then it got firm, maybe a bit too firm, and showed some alcohol. After 3+ hours it started to round out and become quite impressive. While still refined, it had incredible balance and outstanding length.
  
  As with many old whites, it is way to easy to drink this wine before it has a chance to show its majesty. However, the color on this bottle was great so it encouraged me to give it a ton of air. Clearly, this was what it needed. A classic Chevalier (massive power that seems subtle).
