CHATEAU CHEVAL BLANC 1996 |

Château Cheval Blanc 1996 St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)Good levels, labels soiled, 1 slightly wrinkled56% 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.
