Domaine de Chevalier 2005
This was Jane Anson’s wine of the year last year, so I recently took possession of my case from Berry Brothers & Rudd, which I had bought en primeur. Boy, was Jane right! This 2005 is everything the vintage promised to deliver, but still hasn’t for several other wines. A wonderfully enticing nose of crushed roses and spice, on the palate delicious pure blackberries, liquorish, cigar box, graphite, Victoria plum, a kaleidoscope of flavours leaping across the palate. Stunning.
