Community Tasting Note

• mayfield Likes this wine: 95 points

  December 27, 2014 - The nose on this wine is what pushes it to a 95 for me. It was absolutely stunning, and all the exotic spice notes that are characteristic of this house were there. There is something about the interplay between the cab franc and merlot in Cheval Blanc that is completely unique, I've never encountered anything like it in any other wine. It was also very good on the palate, though the finish was a little shorter than I expected and the first sip was better than the last, although the nose held all the way through. Decanted for an hour and drank from the decanter over the course of 2-3 hours.
