Community Tasting Note

  January 21, 2020 - Domaine de Chevalier vertical with Olivier Bernard (Le Cafe Descartes at the French Embassy): Medium expressive nose displaying pure black fruit with a hint of red, blackberry, crème de cassis, a hint of strawberry, licorice, mocha, roasted nuts, cedar and limestone. Very good concentration, nicely layered pure black fruit, fresh and silky, medium acidity, strong mineral, nicely integrated tannins and a medium long black and red fruit driven finish. There is a hint of bitterness that clips the finish. This is a classic Grave. For me, the 16 Junior, i.e. very similar in style but not as expressive and concentrated.
