Château Cheval Blanc
St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend
Still needs time based on this bottle. Tannins still not fully resolved. But the potential is there. Tasted at a wonderful IFWS dinner at the Leela in Mumbai

Aug 6th, 20132 hour decant (some chunky and cloudy sediment). A splended dark purple garnet color with little signs of aging. On the nose: BAM! Expressive nose with that sweet aged Bordeaux perfume, black plum, wet forest floor, floral, smoke, slight barn yard funk, and minty vanilla. Taste: A fresh, smooth medium to full body wine with blackberry, tea, orange peel, cedar, currants, plum, and a chocolate coffee medium plus finish. Wish the taste matched the nose, but drinks decently right now with the decant...pop one if you got em!!!

Nov 21st, 2020A more typical vintage year, this 2004 is balanced, poised, and elegant. Anise, red fruit elements (cherry), black berry; subtle tertiary notes (cooked blackberry, mushroom, wet leaves on a forest floor). Medium acid and body, silky tannins, the length goes on and on. A deliciously voluptuous beauty.
