  January 30, 2011 - Domaine de Chevalier Tasting (Blacksalt): Round but sharp. Lovely floral qualities with lime and touches of honeycomb from the semillion. Cutting minerality. The oak still shows but it has integrated wonderfully.

  January 29, 2011 - Domaine de Chevalier Wine Lunch (Blacksalt): Incredibly youthful color that was more characteristic of a newly released wine, not a 30 year old one! Nose had smokey minerals, white flowers, a hint of diesel, and oak. For me, the palate was dominated by oak flavors. Along with the toasty oak, there was some brisk citrus flavors, and a distinct minerality that was very nice. Hard for me to get past the oak on this wine...I wonder if it needs more time???

  October 22, 2007 - The fabulous nose was a testament to what this wine once was...a complex and heady aroma of lemon and caramel. The tasting was an unsurprising disappointment, thought for a brief time, several hours after opening it the wine showed promise, but that soon dimmed. It had a nice lime finish. I should have found it several years ago.

  May 22, 2004 - With cheese, it was very good. Since I always write down my notes on the day after, I had little recollection of this wine, to be honest, except the fact that a) it was very good and b) I took a mental note to investigate white dry Bdx more from now on. No idea what it tasted like, but I was obviously seduced...
