CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The stellar Cheval Blanc 2010 has a very precise bouquet, not powerful but exuding a brooding intensity. It is very well defined with hints of honey and dried violet petals in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with a wondrous spicy entry, perfectly judged acidity, real weight and heft on the back palate that fans out as if there is no tomorrow. This is a huge wine, totally compelling, a behemoth destined to mature over years rather than decades. Tasted January 2014.
Jancis Robinson
Dense blackish garnet with only the lightest evolution at the rim. Exceedingly intense, opulent nose with the suggestion of a spice cabinet about it though definitely some Cabernet influence. Opulent texture - velvety - but far from heavy. Definitely refreshing and definitely Cheval. A classic. Reminds me of the great ripe vintages of old. Opulent but fragrant with the tannins nicely and effectively covered by the precise, ripe (by no means overripe), well-judged fruit. You could certainly start to drink this but I suspect it has a glorious future.
