Deep and intense colour. Generous and fresh nose of ripe fruits. Red and

black berries mixed with lightly peppery spices. Menthol and liquorice.

Immediate fruit and freshness on the palate. Full-bodied wine with structuring ripe and supple tannins without hiding finesse and complexity. Nice acidity gives tension and freshness. Very long class finish.

Decanter - Steven Spurrier (29 May 2015) 17.5/20 (91/100)

Velvety black-red, impressive concentration of ripe, slightly leafy fruit, good depth and clarity, slight green. Drink: 2016 – 2030

Wine Advocate - Robert Parker (April 2015) 92+/100

Very floral and elegant with raspberry and blackcurrant fruit mixed with toasty oak/vanillin, followed by a medium to full-bodied, stylish, polished wine that is the quintessentially refined style of Pessac-Léognan. Nevertheless, the complexity and nuance has yet to fully emerge. This medium to full-bodied Domaine de Chevalier is poised for a bright future. It is tight and backward now, as well as restrained aromatically, but everything is there for the future. Forget it for 5-7 years and drink it over the following 30 years.

Drink 2020-2050

Wine Spectator (31 March 2015) 92/100

This sports lovely, enticing plum sauce, melted black liquorice, blackberry pâte de fruit and cherry compote notes, along with fruitcake and graphite accents that fill in the background. The solid structure is fully absorbed into the fruit, and this should cellar well. A solid effort for the vintage. Best from 2017 through 2025. 8,333 cases made. – JM
