The bouquet is deep, very pure and classy, as it offers up scents of red and black cherries, great minerality, woodsmoke, gamebirds, gentle nutty tones and a deft touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, very pure and quite closed, with great mid-palate depth, fine-grained, substantial tannins and a very long, soil-driven and tangy finish. \u003cstrong\u003eReally outstanding backend grip.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e93+ points\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-2\"\u003eStephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, March\/April 2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\"\u003eDeep, bright red.

This spreads out impressively on the back end, with broad tannins saturating the palate. \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e91-94 points\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vins Rare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46037336031471,"sku":"2992","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/7140\/9135\/files\/chevillon_cailles2003-LBL_661847e4-a280-4c54-aae1-7e2562a7795c.png?v=1772598138","url":"https:\/\/vinsrare.com\/products\/2008-chevillon-nuits-st-georges-les-cailles","provider":"Vins Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
