Château Cheval-Blanc 2000
Saint-Émilion, 1er grand cru classé (A)
In original wooden case
Tasting Note: Coming out of a relatively dormant state, this 2000 is a spectacular Cheval Blanc. Of recent vintages, I think only the 2009 can give it a run for its money. A blend of 53% Merlot and 47% Cabernet Franc, the wine has a sweet nose of menthol, melted licorice, boysenberry, blueberry, and cassis. A broad wine with compelling purity, a layered texture, and sweet tannin, with hints of coffee and earth in the background, this is by far the best Cheval Blanc since 1990 and before 2009. It is a legend in the making and can be drunk now, as the tannins have nearly melted away. This is a beauty with incredibly complex aromatics. 99 RP
