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

Rol Valentin other_regions_italy I wouldn’t describe this asThe 1998 Rol Valentin has a pale to medium brick color and gives up notes of stewed tea, dusty soil, cinnamon stick and tobacco with a gentle undercurrent of dried berries. Medium bodied, the palate reveals a mature wine on the edge of its downward trajectory, with soft, powdery tannins and bags of freshness boosting the last throws of fruit, finishing earthy.
