This is far too young but when I have a chance to look in on Cheval Blanc I do.
Nose shows; ripe blackberries, strawberries, dark cherries, plum, moist clays, coffee, moist herbs, roasted chestnuts, amazing florals that are red flowers, red roses, lilacs & violets.

This 8 year old Malbec based blend from the house of Cheval Blanc is starting to drink very nicely now. Feels like a Right Bank Bordeaux.
Soft, smooth and elegant. Rich and fruit forward. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Complex and interesting.
Needed 90 minutes in the decanter to open up properly, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years.

Superb!!! Ruby red with aromas of black cherry, black currant, plum, and black pepper. Nice long finish with flavors of black cherry, plum, blueberry, baking spices, and pepper. Slight tartness. Excellent with of Chimichurri Tri-tip. — 3 months ago
A stunning blend of Chardonnay, Viognier and Sauvignon showcasing the best of each grape. Crisp acidity, gorgeous floral, peach aroma with elderflower, orange blossom, tangerine, Meyer lemon, green apple, ripe pear, chalk, flint, crushed fresh herbs (thyme and sage) and a hint of oaky vanilla. Great length and for all its opulence, is elegant with great finesse. — 4 years ago
