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 .

Produttore
Château Cheval Blanc
Annata dopo annata, producendo vini fenomenali, alcuni dei quali sono i più celebri del mondo, il leggendario Château Cheval Blanc è sulla cresta dell'onda. Bernault Arnault e Albert Frère acquistarono la proprietà alla fine degli anni '90 e, senza badare a spese, i due soci puntarono a rendere Cheval Blanc il più grande Château sulla Sponda Destra di Bordeaux. Classificato come proprietà Grand Cru Classé A, Cheval Blanc possiede senza dubbio il maggior numero di vigne di Cabernet Franc di Bordeaux. Al confine della denominazione Pomerol, con oltre la metà dei 39 ettari di terreno impiantati a Cabernet Franc, la tenuta è composta da quarantacinque lotti separati e sparsi in tutta la regione. Questi appezzamenti così frammentati e l'alta percentuale di Cabernet Franc determinano la grande complessità del vino. Un Cheval Blanc in stile classico può essere descritto dagli aromi di frutti neri e spezie ricchi, concentrati e intensamente complessi. Almeno dieci anni d’invecchiamento sveleranno al meglio la struttura serica del Grand Vin, lo Cheval Blanc. Un vino senza rivali.
