This was really tight to begin with and benefitted greatly from a 3+ hour decant. Then it began to show classic Cheval dirt with notes of blackberry liquor, truffles and smoked earth. Still youthful and possessing a lot of great material for the vintage, it nevertheless is a more structured version of this great terroir. There is a beautiful layered texture and perfect balance with a refined finish sporting notes of dark spices and dark chocolate. Very fine with upside. 94+

2 hour decant
Plush and wet. red fruit, bright with tones of chocolate and damp spice. Velvety texture but not a ton of depth. The merlot denominated but can franc adds some textured depth.

Vertical from 1966 to 2014 at Wine Watch: this was quite evolved and while not one of the better wines, this had some charm and decent fruit.
