am really impressed with this. It is powerful and rich with so much blueberry, vanilla and spice on the nose and palate. It's full and very spicy, and fruity on the palate, but remains refined and subtle. Rich and polished tannins too. This needs at least five years of bottle age to come around.

2008 Cheval Blanc: The 2008 Cheval Blanc (55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Franc) is a winner from this underrated, classic vintage. Notes of forest floor, Asian plum sauce, black currants, sweet cherries and spice are followed by a medium to full-bodied wine with deep fruit, admirable purity, and a long, textured finish. There is not a hard edge to this wine, and in all likelihood, it can be drunk now or cellared for two decades.

This isn't shy about letting a tobacco leaf note weave in and out, while the core of red currant, damson plum and bitter cherry grows and fleshes out as this airs. The long finish lets mineral, red licorice and mesquite check in as well. Shows impressive range, with some youthful grip still to be shed. Best from 2013 through 2020. –JM .

Château Cheval Blanc
Il crée des cuvées phénoménales, tous millésimes confondus. Certaines figurent même parmi les plus réputées de la planète… En un mot, le mythique Château Cheval Blanc se trouve au summum. Bernard Arnault et Albert Frère ont jeté leur dévolu sur la propriété à la fin des années 1990, ne lésinant pas sur les moyens pour faire de Cheval Blanc le plus grand château de la Rive Droite. Reconnu Grand Cru Classé A, Cheval Blanc met à l’honneur le cabernet franc, dans une proportion qui est la plus élevée de toute la région de Bordeaux. Limitrophe de l’appellation Pomerol, plus de la moitié de ses 39 hectares de vignes sont plantés de ce cépage. Le domaine compte quarante-cinq parcelles au total, disséminées sur toute la zone. Cette mosaïque de terroirs, ainsi que l’encépagement dominé par le cabernet franc, expliquent la grande complexité du vin. Un Cheval Blanc au profil classique se distingue par ses arômes riches et concentrés de petits fruits noirs, d’une complexité intense, et ses saveurs d’épices douces. Une dizaine d’années de garde ou plus révélera la texture soyeuse du grand vin Cheval Blanc dans toute sa splendeur. Un vin hors pair.
