Château Cheval-Blanc--Vintage 2004
Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé (A)
Tasting Note: Eighty thousand bottles of 2004 Cheval Blanc were produced from a blend of 55 Cabernet Franc and 45 Merlot. Subtle herb, menthol, cranberry, blackcurrant, and liquorice aromas emerge from this dark ruby/plum-coloured wine. It is medium-bodied and elegant with plenty of sweet fruit, but not a lot of weight or intensity. The complexity and nobility of Cheval Blanc's gravelly terroir is apparent in this delicate, subtle St.-Emilion. Give it a few years to develop additional aromatics, and drink it over the following 12-15. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 171, June 2007
