Château Cheval-Blanc--Vintage 1996
Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé (A)
Tasting Note: The elegant, moderately weighted 1996 Cheval Blanc reveals a deep garnet/plum, evolved colour. Quintessentially elegant, with a complex nose of black fruits, coconut, smoke, and pain grillé, this medium-bodied wine exhibits sweet fruit on the attack, substantial complexity, and a lush, velvety-textured finish. It is very soft and evolved for a 1996. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2015. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 122 (Apr 1999)
