Château Cheval Blanc 1996
St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)
Excellent levels, 9 with good appearance, 1 very slightly soiled, 2 slightly creased, 1 capsule slightly wrinkled at base

56% Cabernet Franc, 44% Merlot. Extremely aromatic on the nose - this is the lovely Cabernet Franc this year. Great freshness and heathery aromatics. Really easy. Slips down. In 2011, a real nose of intense black berries. Almost tarry. Thick, dense wine, like an amazing prune liqueur. Still so vigorous and powerful. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
