Silky tannins and dark, cool-toned fruit define Chateau Cheval Blanc 2012, a poised yet firmly structured Saint-Émilion that stands out for its depth in this lighter vintage. Layers of blackcurrant, plum and red cherry are laced with graphite, cedar and fresh earth, while vibrant acidity keeps the wine lifted and long on the palate. Still youthful, it already shows terrific finesse and will gain complexity with further time in bottle.
