Tasting notes
The 2018 Domaine de la Solitude, from the team at Domaine de Chevalier, has a light loamy bouquet of tobacco and clove scents that develop with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly angular tannins, though it coheres in the glass, leading to a strong tobacco and pencil-lead-tinged finish. Very classic in style. Drink this over the next 4–6 years.

Performing nicely, the 2018 Domaine De La Solitude (Pessac-Léognan) has gained more elegance and finesse since I tasted it from barrel, offering a complex, layered style as well as medium to full-bodied richness, silky tannins, integrated acidity, and outstanding length. With lots of cherry and currant fruits along with notes of white truffle, green tobacco, and cedar, it's going to continue drinking nicely for at least 15 years.
The Domaine de la Solitude 2018 Rouge is deep garnet-purple colored and opens with aromas of cedar, earth, blackberries, cassis and tilled soil. The medium to full-bodied palate is generous and muscular with firm, grainy tannins and a long, earthy finish.
