Domaine de Chevalier Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2017

Tasted no less than four times the 2017 Domaine de Chevalier is going to be up with the creme de la creme of the vintage. Based on 70% Cabernet Sauvignon 25% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot aging in 35% new French oak its deep purple color is followed by an incredibly classic bouquet of crème de cassis crushed rock pipe tobacco smoked earth and leafy herbs. Similar in style to the 2008 yet with more generosity and charm it’s medium to full-bodied silky and elegant with ripe tannin. Give it a few years and enjoy over the following two decades or more. 94-97 points. -Jeb Dunnuck
