Château Cheval Blanc St Emilion Grand Cru Premier Grand Cru Classé A 2011
Now comfortably into its second decade, and starting to open up to show a beautifully nuanced and finessed structure. This is the first time I have checked in to this wine for two years, and it remains very much floral-dominated, with violet and iris aromatics, reflective of the high percentage of Cabernet Franc, showcasing precisely-crafted blue and red fruits. Balances light touch acidities and slow build concentration, with decades ahead of it. 50% new oak.
