Château Cheval-Blanc--Vintage 1998
Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé (A). Château-bottled
Tasting note: This blend of 55 Cabernet Franc and 45 Merlot exhibits a dark ruby/purple color as well as classic aromas of menthol, plums, mulberries, and assorted black fruits. The oak, texture, acidity, and tannin are all beautifully integrated. While full-bodied, elegant, concentrated, and impeccably balanced, it requires several years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2020. 93 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #134, April 2001
