Falstaff January - 2023
Falstaff
Strong ruby red with a broad ochre rim. Dark forest berry aromas with smoky and savoury undertones, subtle notes of farmyard, blackberries and cassis. Juicy, densely woven, dark forest fruits, freshly structured, mineral and salty on the finish. The tannins are still noticeable in the finale, but better integrated than in its youth. A good food companion.

Dark red colour. Good intensity. Purple. Nose of medium intensity. Fine. Fruity. Note of pepper. Touch of bell pepper on swirling. Fresh. Soft attack, developing on a supple structure, very fruity, quite rich, which evolves by melting on flavours of cherry chocolate. Coated finish with good persistence, slightly warm and spicy, but also lively. Good persistence.

Tasted at the château, the 1996 Domaine de Chevalier certainly surpassed my expectations even though I would caution that I think Olivier Bernard has made better vintages since then. Deep in colour, the nose is quite captivating with black fruit, brine and crushed stone. I like the strictness here – very 1996 in style. The palate is medium-bodied with quite a svelte texture. The bead of acidity lends this tension although I found that finish surprisingly backward and just lacked that peacock's tail that would have warranted a higher score. Of course, there is a chance that this could come with time because it is undeniably very well balanced and pure. It just needs a bit more ... ambition. Tasted July 2016.

Fully mature, the wine is light in colour, medium bodied and elegant on the palate. A little more interesting on the nose than the palate with its bright, red fruit, tobacco, smoke and cigar character.

Ripe berry aromas, with hints of smoke and earth. Medium-bodied, with firm, sleek tannins, pretty raspberry and mineral flavours and a medium finish. Tight and closed.
