Château Cheval-Blanc--Vintage 2001
Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé (A)
Tasting note: I was surprised by how soft, opulent, even voluptuous the 2001 Cheval Blanc performed out of bottle as this estates wines tend to shut down when young. Its deep ruby/purple colour was accompanied by sweet aromas of cranberries, black currants, menthol, Asian spices, and underbrush. This seductive blend of 60 Merlot and 40 Cabernet Franc reveals a lush sweetness, medium body, and ripe, well-integrated tannin. A racy effort filled with personality, it should be at its finest between 2007-2018. Wine Advocate #153 (June 2004) Robert Parker
