Review Date: 05/2023Somewhat similar to the 2010 vintage in terms of tannic power, but more relaxed, revealing burgeoning tertiary, leafy tobacco elegance, making it more enjoyable to drink today. A powerful wine with impressive tannin. (PK)

Notes
95 points Neal Martin's Wine Journal: "The Domaine de Chevalier 2005 has a powerful and quite burly bouquet with sumptous black fruit laced with truffle, cedar and a touch of juniper berry. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins. This is an effortless Graves, beautifully proportioned with the oak seamlessly integrated. It builds in the mouth and fans out wonderfully with a kiss of black pepper on the structured, masculine finish. Clearly, this is one of Olivier Bernard's finest achievements under his reign."
