Reticent but complex nose opens slowly to reveal dried fruits, fresh almond, hazelnut, clove and minerals. Suave on entry, then ripe but vibrant in the middle palate, combining brisk lemony citricity, more showy pineapple and a powerful element of pure liquid stone. Finishes wonderfully aromatic, subtle and long, with superb energy to the mineral and hazelnut flavors. Classic soil-inflected Chevalier, among the stars of the vintage and built for long life.
