A reserved and quite discreet nose reflects notes of ripe green fruit white peach and rose petal are trimmed in visible wood spice while complementing well the rich full and intense flavors that are built on a base of firm minerality which contributes to the textured mouth feel on the beautifully balanced and powerful finish. While there is no question that this is a classy stylish and delicious effort the flavors seems quite forward for a young Chevalier though again it's possible that this is a side effect of being prepared for bottling. Note that my drinking window assumes that it will tighten up once in bottle.
