When I wrote about this wine in the first edition of this book, I gave it an adequate review. Two bottles tasted since were significantly better. Both exhibited dark ruby color, with some amber/orange at the rim. Both had bouquets that displayed a roasted, rich, intensely concentrated character, indicative of a hot vintage. In the mouth, the wine was extremely full bodied and alcoholic for a Domaine de Chevalier, but rich, full, intense, and velvety. Clearly I underrated this wine. While not as superb as the 1964 La Mission-Haut-Brion, the 1964 Domaine de Chevalier is still a gorgeously fragrant, hedonistic wine with gobs of plump, fat flavors. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 11/89.
