On open the nose poured out dark berries. Double decanted for fine sediment and air (per other CT suggestions). Drank 12 hours later and nose list a but of intensity. Palate showed medium intensity cherry, sour cherry, great balance. Not overwrought. That said, a bit simple on the palate and would hold to let this age longer for complexity (and mitigate giving so much air and thus reducing the nose).

PNP. Red cherry and herbs on the nose, some orange peel and almost stemmy which is surprising for Chevillon. Deep red cherry and spice palate, lovely saline infused texture with a core of lively fruit. Excellent tonight and definitely in the drinking zone.

Deep and rich nose. Black plum and raspberry. Forest floor and a hint of leather/barnyard. A hint of Brett disturbs and detracts. Medium-fullish, fullish palate. Quite tannic, but ripe. Deep and structured. Dark fruit, nuts and sweet tobacco. Quite oaky with hints of coffee. Very NSG-typical! But also a bit four-square. Ready to go. Can be kept 5-10 more years.

Vertical/Horizontal Tasting of Chevillon Nuits St. Georges Premier Crus (San Francisco): Light ruby. Green herb and scorched earth. Medium to lighter weight, but more body and sap as it opens. Fruit more in the background than the Cailles, and there is more tannic grip to resolve, which really cuts off the finish now. Not as impressive as the 2010 version of this.
