Evokes an 80's Mike Tyson, powerful, primary, possibly destined for greatness but creating a fear that unnerves. Appropriately, it socks the nose, cloves, kirsch, leather. Assaults the palate, huge extraction that manages to float, coffee, dark chocolate. Compote left out for a day. Would love to taste this next to any SQN Grenache of similar age...Group was confounded but, like 80s Iron Mike, agreed that it's destined for fame or despair, but will always be interesting. — 9 years ago

One of the better Chevillon wines I've had in awhile. Balanced, nice mix between primary and tertiary. — 9 years ago

Flashed chocolate, and some primary fruits before subsiding into a meaty mushroom earthy cloud of deliciousness with that lovely combo of integrated oak and dark prune minerality. Great time to drink this. — 10 years ago

Ripe red fruit. Healthy showing of spice and tobacco. Silky mouthfeel, lifted weight. Clean acid. Drinking well, however still primary with glimpses of depth and age. Excited to watch this go for the long haul. — 11 years ago

Wonderfully enjoyable wine. Seemed very well advanced for such a young pup. Round and balanced with all the right primary fruit aromas layered with developed earth and coffee notes. — 11 years ago

Just a fantastic wine. Deep fruit with both primary and secondary characteristics. Intense nose. Long finish with just enough structure / acid to hold it together. Really singing - no need to wait longer. Can't imagine a better pairing with a mutton chop at Keens, it was perfect. — 8 years ago

This was lovely; full of primary fruit and lovely a point tannins but starting to loose its flesh. A very good easy drinking wine, though unfortunately that's all it was. As expected. — 9 years ago

This one needs a ridiculous amount of time, it is almost primary for a 1989. See you in 25 years — 9 years ago

Lt gold. Heavy in the glass. Nose of sweet citrus, honeysuckle and garden stone. Very rich and glycerol in the mouth. Still primary. Nice fruit, structure and acidity balance. Great finish. Drink now or cross your fingers that with more age it remains this good. — 9 years ago
