Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 99
Coming out of a relatively dormant state, this 2000 is a spectacular Cheval Blanc. Of recent vintages, I think only the 2009 can give it a run for its money. A blend of 53% Merlot and 47% Cabernet Franc, the wine has a sweet nose of menthol, melted licorice, boysenberry, blueberry, and cassis. A broad wine with compelling purity, a layered texture, and sweet tannin, with hints of coffee and earth in the background, this is by far the best Cheval Blanc since 1990 and before 2009. It is a legend in the making and can actually be drunk now, as the tannins have nearly melted away. This is a beauty with incredibly complex aromatics. Drink it over the next 25-30 years.
Wine Spectator 95-99
"Superripe, with berry, licorice and cherry. Full-bodied, with big, velvety tannins and a very long finish. Unbelievable. More exuberant and thick than 1998."
Neil Martin, Wine Journal, eRobert Parker 95
The millennial Cheval Blanc has such an opulent nose with ripe blackberry, graphite, crushed violets and a touch of sage with wonderful definition. The palate is full-bodied with firm, tensile tannins, great precision and focus, yet still a Cheval that is biding its time and will need another 6-8 years before it really begins to blossom. Tasted June 2010.
