Domaine de Chevalier, Pessac-Leognan, France 2016 Gerard Raphet vinous and become "bouquet" fragrantAromas of blackberries, red and dark plums, cedar and gravel, as well as red flowers and brown leaf tea. It offers a very sleek and powerful array of ripe dark fruit and a very plush, focused and elegant bed of fresh, fine and powerful tannins. Plenty of aging potential, this is still quite tight. A blend of 55 per cent cabernet sauvignon, 35 per cent merlot, five per cent cabernet franc and five per cent petit verdot. 97 Pts James Suckling
