Currant, black cherry and plum pour from the glass, shaded by floral perfume and a subtle, creamy oak spice, giving this 2021 Chateau Cheval Blanc a poised yet quietly powerful character. The palate is medium to full in weight but long in drive, built on sleek, persistent tannins and lively acidity that stretch the dark fruit into a cool, precise, almost architectural finish. High in Cabernet Franc and low in alcohol for Cheval, it feels like a deeply classical, ageworthy expression rather than a showy one.
