Domaine de Chevalier 2008 Rouge : 17 + Drink 2014-20
Very dark purple indeed. Attractive savour and life on the nose but a little bit green on the palate. Round but marked by acidity and less than opulent tannins but very polished and savoury. A bit too muscular ? Fades on the finish. A little more flashy than previous vintages of Domaine de Chevalier than I remember. But it grew in the glass.
Domaine de la Solitude 2008 Rouge : 16 + Drink 2012-19
Deep crimson. Firm and quite extracted nose without much personality, thoug lots of intensity, at this stage. Ripe Cabernet fruit dominates the palate. A little angular now but it should age into something really quite pretty.
