2nd wine of Ch Cheval Blanc, St Emilion 1GCCA. Almost wholly Cab Franc. Very tight initially, but once it opened up it sings. Sweet, honeyed bouquet, v inviting. Complex web of warm raspberries, crushed black fruits (currants, plums), mint, polished tannins peppered w Asian spices and long long finish. Supreme breeding, posh and silky. Kaleidoscope of flavors are dancing in the mouth - v complex. Youthful and needs air but unmistakably an aristocrat (9.5/10).
