Other Reviews….
A major sleeper of the vintage, this over-achieving St.-Emilion seems to come up big in many of the top vintages and needs more recognition from consumers. Loads of black currants, toasty oak and forest floor notes comprise this large-scaled, substantial wine. With its intense fruit, copius glycerin, and long, complete finish, this wine is successful now but should be better in 3-4 years and last for 15 or more.
Score: 91
Robert Parker – The Wine Advocate # 199 Feb 2012 The deep ruby/purple-tinged 2009 Chauvin exhibits a perfume of blue and black fruits intermixed with incense, earth, and graphite as well as substantial flesh, concentration, and tannin. This big, full-bodied, structured, deep St.-Emilion should age easily for 15-20+ years. (Tasted once) Drink: 2010 – 2030
Score: 90-92*
