Domaine de chevalier 1975

blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc.

The 1975 Domaine de Chevalier continues to cruise along very nicely as it closes in on its fiftieth birthday, offering a complex and classic bouquet of dark berries, black cherries, cigar ash, dark soil tones, nutskin, black truffle and a topnote of tobacco leaf. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, complex and shows lovely depth of fruit at the core, with good soil signature, still moderate tannins and lovely length and grip on the well-balanced and complex finish. Good juice and still with plenty of life in it.
