| Pessac Leognan, Bordeaux Made in an elegant style, with the oak more restrained than in previous examples, this deep ruby/purple-colored offering exhibits notes of roasted herbs, vanillin, red and black currants, wet stones, and tobacco. It will undoubtedly develop more complexity as it ages. This medium-bodied, beautifully concentrated Domaine de Chevalier reveals moderate tannin in the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2020. Rated 89-90 Robert Parker Harmonious. Subtle aromas of ripe fruit and Indian spices. Medium- to full-bodied, with well-integrated tannins and a fruity finish. Score range: 89-91 Wine Spectator |
