Tasting note: This displays a cleaner nose than the Chevalier with a trace of exotic fruit on the floral and white and yellow orchard fruit nose that is trimmed in moderate wood as well as plenty of spice influence. The very rich and broad-shouldered flavors brim with dry extract on the very firmly structured and hugely persistent finish. This is a big wine that isn't giving much at present but there is so much underlying material that it should come together in time though note that in the context of the vintage, this will be particularly long lived.
