Domaine de Chevalier
Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend
Pessac-Léognan, Graves, Bordeaux, France
Love the erroneous back label variety math. Pine box, tar, then bright, spicy mature fruit that becomes a touch balsamic on the palate. Tannins just relaxed enough to add depth. Really good.

It's easy to forget how God damn delicious Sauvignon Blanc can be...then you have something like this.

One of 16 "first growths" of Graves. 66% Cab, 25% Merlot, 9% Petit Verdot. Bold, dark, and well-rounded. Definite winner, may have to stock up on this.

Beau au nez, graphite, mine de crayon, fruits noirs! Leger défaut en bouche par contre qui m’empêche de l’apprécier à son plein potentiel

Deep ruby color, extremely rich aroma, fruity taste with a bit spicy. Black currant and raspberry flavor. Acidity seems to be more than tannin, though CS ratio is more than 60%. I could not find cigar taste. CS66/MRT25/PV9. Anyway, more than 2 hours is necessary for decanting. @2400, Winona, 170226

Not a strong vintage and it showed but all the fruit is there. Had a touch of green-ness when opened but after about 45mins of decanting it rounded out quite well. #恵愛ちゃん生誕祭 #杏子復活祭

2008 red. Disjointed and disappointing in terms of what I expect from Domaine de Chev. Lots of attractive qualities, particularly the California-like cassis fruit, but they didn't come together. Maybe just this bottle.
