Nice richness, savoury fruits, a touch of bacon and smoky spiciness. Rich cassis fruit on the palate with Asian spice and vanilla. Fab grippy tannins coated in lashings of fruit. Intense and concentrated but fresh and very pure with long, refreshing minerality. 92-94 points (Unc 07/04/11)

Neal Martin
The 2010 Domaine de Chevalier shows a little more amplitude compared to the Malartic-Lagraviere, red and black fruit, undergrowth, pressed rose petals and a touch of crushed stone all beautifully defined. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins but demonstrating great depth. This feels saline, slightly marine-influenced in the mouth, with outstanding precision on the slightly peppery finish. Oliver Bernard oversaw a magnificent Grand Vin. Tasted from an ex-chateau bottle at the BI Wines & Spirits 10-Year On tasting. 94 points
