| Tasted by rwatkin on 9/27/2009 & rated 91 points: Elegant flavors of cocoa and cedar, mild fruit with balanced tannins and mild acidity. Paired well with tenderloin. All in finesse, and lean, focused flavors... (780 views) | |
| Tasted by daanishk on 6/26/2009 & rated 91 points: Enjoyed a half bottle over dinner at the Priory in Bath. Lovely dark red color. Bouquet of subtle fruit, but more complex mixture of cocoa and leather. Very refined on the palatte, showing a little more fruit. Nice medium to long finish. (1029 views) | |
| Tasted by Tao on 5/31/2009 & rated 92 points: 91-92. It matures in a fast pace. Not a BIG wine, but precise and perfect balance in my opinion, still have few more years to go, deep ruby in color, fragrant complex nose tar-red fruits-very-Graves, medium somewhat light body but again very attractive, long finish. Don't miss it if you don't mind this one is not a fruit-bomb. (1135 views) | |
| Tasted by Rupert on 5/27/2008 & rated 89 points: Vertical tasting of Domaine de Chevalier (Rouge) (Institute of Directors, London): Direct, mouthwatering cedar nose, leather and funk, confirmed on palate with lots of tobacco and earth - high acid, but overall this is a high class and characteristic graves (1507 views) | |
| Tasted by VinAmante on 5/24/2008 & rated 88 points: (1087 views) | |
| Tasted by Rupert on 11/24/2007 & rated 89 points: Enticing cedar and graphite nose, on the palate rich fruit, a bit compact and will probably open more, but very nice now (1764 views) | |
| Tasted by chbeaumont on 10/7/2007: Classic crisp Graves nose, brick dust, with framboise & asian spice; savoury, pliant, supple, medium bodied, soft summer berry fruit; long, drinking well now. Score 15+ Seemed lighter, weaker. 13 This has peaked IMO. Decent, but preferred younger. Good finish. 14 (1754 views) | |
| Tasted by Talisker on 8/9/2007 & rated 90 points: Intense, massive, oaky, too much at present. Needs 5-10 more years in the cellar to round it off a bit. But highly promising, this can be great. Maybe 90 is to little. Time will show. (1957 views) | |

| Tasted by big-big on 3/30/2006: Vurdering: Minst like god som 1999 men en tanke mykere enn 1998. Deilig allerede nå men holder i minst ti år til. Meget godt kjøp. (2001) (Ukens vin - 09.11.05) Mat: Rike og elegante retter med rødt kjøtt, særlig hjort. Farge og duft: Tett rød. Rik og ganske robust duft av solbær, mokka/kaffe, fat, cedertre og røyk. Smak: Fyldig kjølig anslag, silkemyk, men samtidig med gode syrer og tanniner, men overraskende tilgjengelig allerede nå, frisk og svært lang ettersmak med nydelig solbærpreg, en del jordsmonn, røyk og cedertre.
