Tasting Notes

This somewhat charming, lightweight Cheval Blanc is fully mature but elegant, with sweet red and black currant fruit intermixed with mineral, licorice, and a hint of herbs. Spicy, medium bodied, and very pleasant, this wine's harmony gives it considerable appeal. Drink up. Last tasted, 11/02.
