  Much better than last bottle. Dark fruited. Ready to roll.

  Surprisingly accessible for a 2005 Chevillon after about 5 hours of slow ox. Effusive aromatics, with dark bramble and cherry fruit, accompanied by sauvage and damp earth. The palate was squarely medium bodied and silky textured before fine tannins crept in on the rear palate. This has not quite entered its mature sweet fruit stage on the palate, but it is drinking very well.

  Bought on release #1 of 3. Great fill and sound cork. // Initial nose has red fruits and tertiary, complex elements. Huge legs in glass. Very dark fruit, surprisingly little brown color, still quite dark red and nearly opaque. Fruit is mostly a dark cherry fruit. Animale, savoury, complex, actually quite compelling. With time and air the complex, aromatic, dark red fruit comes forward, notes of cassis and spice come forward. Not a 'great' wine but compelling. Not as animale as a Vaucrains. Still has acid cut. Great with a grilled cheese sandwich!

  Spicy aromatics on opening. Dark fruit but a bit thin through the mid palate.
