A background note of wood easily allows the cool, pure and ripe aromas of the essence of apple, white flowers, wet stone and jasmine tea to shine. The almost painfully intense and chiselled broad-shouldered flavours reflect the hallmark minerality of a fine Chevalier before culminating in an explosively long and impeccably well-balanced finale. This classy effort is pretty though it doesn't have the complexity that I'm used to seeing even at this early juncture in fairness, it may develop it with a few years of bottle age.
