  April 30, 2016 - Very nice fruit in the nose and palate, licorice, getting better with time and air, won against Haut-Bailly 1955

  April 16, 2016 - With the color of ruby tea, the wine is light, elegant and smoky, with a melange of earthy scents and a sweet and tart, red berry finish. This requires drinking before the remaining fruit fades away.

  July 29, 2010 - This fully mature wine offered smoke, tobacco, forest floor, cigar box,, spice, cassis and olive tapenade scents. Medium bodied, with elegant textures, this soft styled wine finished with light kirsch and cassis flavors.

  September 14, 2009 - Domaine de Chevalier Magnum Dinner (Restaurant Taillevent, Paris): Not flawed, but not showing well in this flight. Muted nose, thin on the palate, although still very drinkable. But as luck would have it, since it was not showing well, Olivier decided to open a magnum of the '53 and that was the best wine of the night for most of us.
