Chateau Cheval Blanc, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, France 2018 La Cigarrera long and assertive style withLove the floral character to the aromas of dark fruit, such as blueberries and black cherries. Red and black licorice, too. The full bodied palate starts slowly and then expands with super polished, searing tannins that lead you up the palate into a place of grandeur. Lightly chewy at the end. Such great purity and presence here. 6% cabernet sauvignon in the blend with franc and merlot. 99 Pts James Suckling
