R. Chevillon Nsg Vieilles Vignes 2009 (750ML)

90 WS / 87-89 BH

Loads of sandalwood and sweet spices greet the nose in this rich plum- and berry-flavored red. Shows a firm edge that will need a year or so to soften. Best from 2014 through 2020. Bruce Sanderson

A discreet hint of wood sets off an equally expressive and also very fresh nose of animale infused red and dark berry fruit aromas. The rich, mouth coating and intense middle weight flavors are blessed with ample amounts of dry extract that confers a velvety palate impression on the mildly rustic and persistent finish. Solid quality here. - Allen Meadows, Burghound
