The 2004 Chauvin may turn out to be outstanding. Its dark ruby/purple hue is accompanied by beautiful aromas and flavors of black raspberries, blueberries, cassis, lead pencil shavings, spice, licorice, tar, and roasted herbs. Ripe, medium to full-bodied, rich, and concentrated, this impressive sleeper of the vintage will benefit from 1-2 years of bottle age, and should keep for 10-15 years.
