I wouldn’t describe this as a typical Niellon Chevalier but it is certainly a dramatic and high-quality wine

Bond, Vecina Size:3x750ml The palate is much betterSaturated medium ruby. Cool perfume of blackberry, licorice, spices and black pepper. Suave and fine grained but still quite tight, showing little in the way of easy sweetness but also avoiding the greenness that plagues some 2008s. Although youthfully imploded, savory and dry, this powerfully tannic, mineral driven wine spreads out on the back end to coat the palate. Stephen Tanzer
