`Domaine de Chevalier 1998 is a mature Left Bank Bordeaux red wine from Pessac-Léognan. Domaine de Chevalier is a prestigious wine estate in the Pessac-Léognan appellation of the Graves region. The winery and vineyards are located south of the city of Bordeaux, in the commune of Léognan. This release is the 1998 vintage of its flagship wine. "Licorice, blackberry, grilled meat and lightly toasted oak. Turns to flowers. Full-bodied, with very silky tannins, pretty fruit and a delicate finish. Fabulous nose, but more reserved on the finish." Wine Spectator, 2009
The 1998 Domaine de Chevalier is a vintage that I had not encountered for a decade. Now at 20-year old it is still a little conservative on the nose and juxtaposed against the 2008, I find the younger vintage has more fruit and charm. This plays it safe, remaining correct and just a little withdrawn. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, slightly dry tannin but a very fine thread of acidity. The fruit feels black and sultry, though there is respectable weight and presence with a spicy finish with a dab of Shezchuan pepper that leaves the mouth tingling. Fine although given that 1998 was a benevolent vintage for the Pessac-Léognan, I was expecting more. Tasted at the château. - Neil Martin
