1978 Domaine de Chevalier Grand Cru Classe Appellation Graves Controlee

11/17/2021 - BURGNICK LIKES THIS WINE:92 Points
The wine shows classic Graves profile of earth, cedar, autumn leave, and smoked fruit. Palate is ethereal with a good mix of primary and secondary character. It is very elegant. While the leaner profile initially shows the wine could be over the peak, it has developed complexity and weight throughout a 2-hour dinner. It is what old claret should be like. 92-93
