Note di degustazione
The 2016 Domaine de Chevalier has a creamy, sensual bouquet that is very different from Les Carmes Haut-Brion, perhaps more sheen, well defined, with black plum and tobacco in the background. Like others, this coheres extremely well in the glass. The palate is very well balanced, with gentle grip, just the right sapidity and a precise, fresh and saline finish. Classy. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.

Tasted blind. Dark crimson. Very voluptuous – almost overripe! – nose. Then pretty tarry and drying on the end. But there is lots there for the future.
Pungent and racy and still very youthful. Pure. Sleek and really gorgeous.
Tobacco, dark fruit and earth on the nose. The palate shows exceptional balance, with incisive acidity and precise dark fruit that are deeply appealing for their harmony. A blend of 55% cabernet sauvignon, 35% merlot, 5% cabernet franc and 5% petit verdot. This is appealing now, but it will evolve wonderfully. Drink now or hold. 10 Years On retrospective.
