Estimate
The wine is full-bodied, rich, and concentrated, with layers of extract, and well-concealed tannin. I am increasingly convinced that this is the most profound Cheval Blanc since the legendary 1982.
Light cherry red. So sweet and rich and enveloping! Almost caramel and minerals on the nose. Lovely sweetness. Very ripe and round and glorious. Not sickly in any way - great freshness on the finish. Hooray for Cabernet Franc.
Great silky sweetness in the mouth, thanks to fabulously pure, ripe cabernet franc.
This is really wonderful and a big surprise for the tasting with wonderful flowers, dark berries and hints of currants on the nose. It’s full and very silky with a wonderful precision and finesse. Goes on and on. Wow.
Superripe aromas of raisins, dried plums and intense truffle. Full-bodied, chewy and layered, with lovely ripe fruit. Such beauty.
