  Pop and pour, consumed over 2 hours. Nose: Medium expressiveness, butterscotch, pear, and lemon curd attack, subtle mineral notes appear in the mid-palate, blood orange and minerals dominate the back-end and linger thru a 30-45 second finish. My third of 4 bottles purchased in 2012, this is evolving very nicely - still a few years left, though I don't see it getting any better.

  Consumed over 2 days (vacuvined), note from day 2. Nose: Medium expressiveness, butterscotch, pear, and lemon oil with hints of licorice and wet rocks. Palate: Medium-full bodied, creamy mouth-feel, tropical fruit and melon attack, lemon zest and butter appear mid-palate, citrus driven tartness dominates the back-end. Finish: Medium length sense of tart citrus, butterscotch, and lemon butter.

  Popped and poured, consumed over 3 hours. Nose: Medium expressiveness, butterscotch, pineapple, buttered bread, and pear. Palate: Medium-full bodied, 10 years old but definitely not passed it's prime - plenty of acid and fruit structure to create beautiful balance, nice back-end lift driven by lemon citrus and persisting through a 30+ second finish.

  I have had a few Chasseurs, even a few from this vineyard and vintage. They have been big, buttery, and oaky. I am not really a huge fan of that style, but it has its place and I can appreciate it. Oddly, this wine was not buttery, nor big, and certainly not oaky. This was oddly devoid of all of those adjectives. In fact, it was pretty much devoid of flavor altogether. Very Odd. thedrunkencyclist.com
