1990 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc

Tasting notes
Although somewhat monolithic, the 1990 Domaine de Chevalier blanc is still a relatively young dry white. It displays a hint of lemon zest, orange blossom, figs, and melons. Medium-bodied and austere, but reasonably long in the finish, it is hard to know in what direction it will go as it does not appear to possess the delineation of the great vintages. Anticipated maturity: now-2012. Last tasted, 6/02.
