  (Domaine de Chevalier (Pessac-Léognan)) Quite an exotic sense to the nose here, enticing, certainly some oak-related elements influencing this impression, it being a little toasty and charcoaly. But underneath the oak there are promising fruit elements, red fruits with earthy, undergrowthy, savoury edges too. It is quite soft on entry, gently polished, remaining really quite accessible into the midpalate. There is a spicy structure coming in too though, although it remains soft and slightly shapeless. There is a lot of acidity as we might expect, and this turns up a notch on the finish, which is bright and crunchy. Overall, a promising wine in the context of the vintage.

  (Domaine de Chevalier Pessac-Léognan) This wine has immediate appeal on the nose, with a sweet depth of black cherry fruit, with smoky charcoal and nutty oak on the side. Cool, stylish and quite refreshing on the palate, with some substance, the barest touch of light cream. The tannins are ripe, and there is some substance to them. Overall, for the vintage this has a fleshy, impressive quality. Good effort.

  (Domaine de Chevalier Pessac-Léognan) Two samples assessed on different days. The first seemed inexpressive, but the second had more apparent, charcoaly fruit. Fresh, elegant style on the palate, ripe tannins, complete and nicely balanced. Not a heavily stuffed wine, but there is sufficient texture. A good effort here.
