96 AM " . . . classic white flower, green apple and limestone aromas framed by touches of citrus and spice components. The flavor profile combines intense minerality and marvelous detail plus fantastic depth and breadth, all wrapped in a hugely long and powerful finish. This just oozes class and for my taste the '99 Chevalier has arrived at its peak though it should remain here for many years to come. Note that I have upgraded my score as the wine has added notably more depth than I originally envisioned. In a word, brilliant." 96 AM "This has finally arrived at its full maturity with the classic white flower, green apple and limestone aromas framed by touches of citrus and spice components.
