Lot 14 Details
CHÂTEAU CHEVAL BLANC 2012 (OWC)

Saint-Émilion. Grand Cru Classé A

Medium to deep garnet colored, the 2012 Cheval Blanc reveals lovely cassis, warm black cherries and redcurrant jelly notions with underlying hints of cedar chest, garrigue, Indian spices and damp soil. Medium to full-bodied, it possesses wonderful energy and freshness on the palate with a beautifully poised ethereal nature and long mineral-tinged finish. This elegantly crafted beauty should enter its drinking window in a couple of years and cellar gracefully for another 20+ years. August 2018 Drink: 2020-2040 WS 95 WA 95+

6 bts.    per lot $3,000 - $3,500
