95 Points

Wednesday, June 1, 2011 - Siggy's Anti-AFWE Bordeaux Tasting: Audouzed about 12 hours. The color is a beautiful dark ruby red. The nose is amazingly expressive, offering a blend of red fruit, tobacco and mineral along with some floral notes. Maybe a bit understated, but most exciting nonetheless. Even better on the palate with perfect balance, great weight and a freshness we had been missing from the first two Chevals. Extremely smooth and silky on the palate with expansive flavors of fresh red fruit (plum/cranberry) with some smoke and earthiness. Still some tannin present, but not obtrusive. Great, long finish. This is a most enjoyable wine that is showing great right now.
