Chateau Chauvin 2003

I think I am getting close to finishing my Bordeaux run, as summer approaches. This particular wine originates from Saint-Emilion, adjacent to the vineyards of Cheval Blanc. Opened to aromas of blackberries, compote, violets, licorice, graphite, smoke and vanillan. On the palate it was very well balanced, mid weighted and solid, etheral almost with some nice minerals underneath. Tannins worked softly in the background, never intruding. Overall this is a lovely wine, quite feminine in its style and quite beautiful.
50+4+13+18+8 = 93/100
