Château Cheval Blanc – Saint-Emilion

(48% Cabernet Franc, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46% Merlot) The nose is beautifully velvety, elegant, airy, delicate and offers intense, racy aromatic. It presents delicacy and harmonious, with a lovely mellow in freshness, a sense of detail and finesse. It reveals notes of pulpy blackberry, cornflower and small notes of pulpy/brilliant blue plum, associated with touches of roasted-elegant black cherry, lilac, hints of graphene and a subtle hint of Bourbon vanilla. The palate is beautifully delicate, fine, fresh, elegant, airy, with suppleness and superb finesse in its texture. It also offers a delicate, airy, juicy silkiness. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of juicy/bright cassis, violet, juicy/bright red cherry, combined with touches of cornflower, crushed raspberry, as well as a hint of blueberry, star anise, an almost serious hint, bergamot and a superb touch of Cabernet Franc. The tannins are discreetly clayey.
