2009 Domaine de Chevalier

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

95 Points

Saturday, May 9, 2015 - Pulled the cork on half a full bottle left after "taking nibbles" over the past weeks via Coravin - decanted for 3 hours. Similar to my previous notes - after decant I got a wider palate and lovely chocolate notes. Beautiful wine. I really think this can be drunk now if you like young Bdx. I like how the wood is so very much in the background here seamlessly integrated, fruit forward and alcohol is not overdone at 13.5% compared to some other 09s, this just is effortless and not forced. I can't wait to follow this wine over the next decades. I have one case stashed away and I am thinking of either buying another of the 09 or a case of the 10. Any thoughts on 09 vs 10 on this one very welcome (have not tasted the 10 yet)...
