This is a fantastically structured white with tight, linear phenolics that blend nicely into the wine. Full-bodied and very agile with energy and brightness on the palate. Fresh, but shows a touch of age in the creamy texture. One for the cellar. Drink or hold.
A slightly riper array is composed by notes of petrol, various white orchard fruit, spice and a hint of wood toast. The rich and relatively full-bodied flavors exhibit ample minerality along with plenty of sappy dry extract while delivering excellent length on the impressively long finish where hints of lemon and mandarin orange surface. This is a Chevalier that should be approachable younger than usual yet the material is here to repay mid-term cellaring.
