Silky layers of blackcurrant, plum and blackberry mingle with notes of cocoa, truffle, tobacco leaf and fresh mint in Chateau Cheval Blanc 2011, giving a deeply perfumed yet poised character. The palate is full but refined, with beautifully polished tannins and a long, resonant finish that showcases the vintage’s understated complexity and classically shaped structure. An elegant, often underappreciated Cheval that speaks more of nuance and fragrance than sheer power.
