nose - peach, vanilla, lemon mouth - delicate but long, quite vinous with waves of flavor pit fruits followed by light custard. Oaky but the wine carries it well. This showed better than I might have guessed. Had a richness to it without being heavy. Good minerality as well. Nice balance here.

I think this is going to be a better wine some day, but not today. It's fat and slightly oafish without any charm or grace. Had a chance to try the '13 which I liked much better. Let's just say that the verdict is out on this one and see what happens over time.

fleshy and full bodied. steely compared to the Chevalier which is I suppose ironic. But a big boned wine nevertheless.
