June 20, 2022 - Nice lemon, honey, orange. Not the precision you'd expect from a *great* aged Chevalier, but an excellent companion to butter poached lobster and shrimp sautéed in butter.

October 30, 2021 - (Blind tasting)
Very mature nose with dried yellow orchard fruit. A load of herbs and spices. Honey and caramell. But also a bit one-dimensional due to age.
Medium-fullish palate. Fully mature verging on too advanced. But dense and concentrated. Very high acidity. Dried apricots and caramell. Quite elegant. Lacks a mineral element. And has lost complexity over the years. This was probably better five years ago or so. Not for keeping. -

December 25, 2020 - Better than the previous bottle — much more complex and layered. Beautiful.
