2012 Domaine de Chevalier, Pessac-Léognan, BordeauxThis is one of my top five must haves this yearagain! I have bought it for my own cellar every year since 2004. Its just heavenly and you know, because Olivier Bernard is a pragmatic realist, that it is going to be priced at a level where we can all indulge ourselves a little.

with fine tannins framing the tasty spiced fruit

polished tannins

Black plum

primary fermentation and malolactic fermentation were executed without a hitch

12 years on lees has given immense complexity and the palate is richly fruited

Bodegas Muga is one of the great names of Rioja

this new departure began with the 2004 vintage

Whisper it quietly
