2018 Domaine de Chevalier rouge

This is a must wine. I will only say that this wine is what I want to drink forever...It is extremely elegant and polished with a sublime sexyness hard to imagine. This wine is pure silk, an imaginary breed of Napa meets Bdx or viceversa. Bought a case after the tasting. Right now delicious with a 4 hrs decant, but will be in its prime around 2030.

'Lovely rich depth to the nose. This is a successful wine with balance, power and elegance. Subtle with a ton of complexity: blackberry and autumnal fruits, touches of hedgerow, slate, chocolate and crushed stone, with sweet raspberry purée as it opens up. Just a lovely wine that you would be very happy to own. One-third new oak. Maintained its success from en primeur. Drinking Window 2024 – 2045.'
