---|---|---|---|---|
Tasted at the infamous 'Dodgy Bottle Offline'. The Cabernet Franc dominates the nose on the ’93 Cheval: cedar, sandalwood, cooked meats, smoke with just a hint of wild mint. The palate is well balanced, again, the Cabernet Franc 'over-seasoning' this masculine Cheval Blanc, leading to a leafy, savoury finish that would benefit from a little more depth. This is a very agreeable Cheval but it is maturing quicker than I expected. Drink now-2013. Tasted July 2009.

Tender and sweet, this offers appealing raspberry and vanilla flavors, but it's a bit diluted and slightly dry on the finish. Drinking well now.--Cheval-Blanc vertical. Score: 84 Winespectator.com, Wine Spectator 31 March 1999 |

Dark ruby with a purple hue, this appealing style of Cheval Blanc offers the tell-tale nose of sweet black fruits, coconut, vanilla, and a touch of menthol. The wine is medium-bodied, elegant, purely made, and while it lacks volume and richness in the mouth, it is soft, delicious, and typical of this property's wines. This tasty, charming 1993 should drink well for 7-8 years. Score: 87 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 1997-2005 01 February 1997 |
