Medium bodied, elegant but not very spectacular. Many years of life ahead.

Un Chevalier toujours essentiellement sur le fruit.
Longueur et complexité correcte mais à besoin davantage de temps pour evoluer

Ikke dekantert. Et glass dag 1. Pent nok. Flere hakk opp dag 2. Pessac-nese, samme munn, mørk, men relativt snill, men ikke veik, den er vital og full av energi. Meget pen opptur.

Kept under condition 1 since september 2012 (see my profile), before that one year under condition 2. Popped and poured. Nice mature nose with complexity. On its own in the taste nice red and dark fruit and nice mature notes with a note of herbs, all with enough concentration. With food a part of the taste, fruit as well as concentration fell away. On its own 91-92, with food 90-91.
