Andreas Larsson - Tasted
Classic dark fruit, tobacco, fine oak, vanilla and butterscotch, nice roundness and concentration, elegant fruit, tobacco, fine tannin and very good length.
Wine Enthusiast
This structured wine with big, bold red fruits offers ripe acidity, a dense texture and considerable concentration. It also has the hallmark freshness of the vintage that balances the strong aging potential. Drink from 2022.
Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
Medium-bodied, elegant and fresh, with silky tannins, layers of black cherry and currants with cigar box, thyme and tobacco leaf accents, there is a nice polish to the fruit with refined textures and a supple, fruit filled finish. This is drinking at close up peak today. A splash decant before pouring was all it needed.
Robert Parker Wine Advocate
One of the stars of the vintage, it boasts a dense purple color as well as a big, sweet bouquet of red and black currants, graphite, subtle flowers and well-integrated, toasty oak. Impressively built rich and medium to full-bodied without losing the quintessential elegance and finesse for which this famous estate is renowned, the 2012 Domaine de Chevalier is filled with purity, equilibrium and balance. The tannins are sweet enough that this wine should be accessible when released, and will last for 15-20 years. Is this a modern day clone of their brilliant 1953 (which I drank from magnum at Bern’s Steak House in November for less than $500!)?
