March 2, 2022 - Coravin fun - Domaine de Chevalier; 2/23/2022-3/6/2022 (My place, Kent Street): From Coravin. Brambles, blackcurrant, a little plum, cream, sweet spice, cedar, a little leather, toast with time. Juicy, fleshy, generous, brambles, tannins are softly textured with a slight drying tug, long, lovely , showing really well today.

September 30, 2021 - This wine has a deep yet clear colour with a lovely nose of blackcurrant, garnet plums, tobacco and gravelly earth.The palate has a nicely rich ball of fruit that is quite mouth filling and which leads nicely into a soft if somewhat short finish.

Good now but prefer tertiary aromas. Not bad for the $50 I spent and for being a weaker vintage. -

May 19, 2021 - Nice clean closure and fault free. Colour is vibrant ruby - no real hint of garnet although clear rim is wider than I recall. Nose is black fruit, pencil and wet stone. Palate is so much better than I remember from this vintage - very nice drinking window. So nice on the initial taste that I decided not to decant lest the magic be lost. Bursting with blackberry, black cherry and blackcurrant. Lovely saline streak, silky fine grained tannins and a long savoury finish. Not a vintage of note it is said, but this wine is hitting its stride big style right now.
