2009 Domaine de Chevalier

Community Tasting Note

91 Points

Thursday, May 11, 2023 - This is still in a primary stage, and to be honest I can't see through the tannin at this stage, particularly end palate and on the finish. You get a sense of its nuance and potential complexity, but at present it is a bit of a rustic drinker. Another example of critics being over optimistic on drinking windows. Admittedly a few 2009s are enjoyable at present, but most need another 5 years. A post note. I saved a glass for the next day and it was transformative, and I am optimistic that I could be scoring this mid 90s or higher in a few years.
