This is the tasting note for 2010 Chateau Cheval Blanc St Emilion from Robert Parker - with a score of 100. Deep garnet in color and made of 54% Cabernet Franc and 46% Merlot, the nose of the 2010 Cheval Blanc is a bit subdued to begin, measuredly opening out to reveal achingly provocative notions of molten chocolate, preserved Morello cherries, baked blackberries, boysenberries and blueberry compote with wafts of underbrush, cigar box, cumin seed and sandalwood. Full-bodied, the palate is a full-on atomic bomb waiting to go off, with very tightly coiled, slowly maturing black fruits eking out glimpses of a vast array of nuances. Still very youthful, it finishes with an incredibly persistent, jaw-dropping display of earth and mineral fireworks. I’d leave this one for another 5 years and drink it over the next 50. 2008 Chateau Cheval Blanc St Emilion from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 96 points, Wine Enthusiast 96 points, Jean-Marc Quarin 96 points, Vinous 95 points, James Suckling 95 points, Decanter 95 points, Jeb Dunnuck 95 points, Jeff Leve The Wine Cellar Insider 95 points, Jeannie Cho Lee (formerly Asian Palate) 94 points. This is the tasting note for 2008 Chateau Cheval Blanc St Emilion from Robert Parker - The 2008 Cheval Blanc (55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Franc) is a winner from this underrated, classic vintage. Notes of forest floor, Asian plum sauce, black currants, sweet cherries and spice are followed by a medium to full-bodied wine with deep fruit, admirable purity, and a long, textured finish. There is not a hard edge to this wine, and in all likelihood, it can be drunk now or cellared for two decades. 2009 Chateau Cheval Blanc St Emilion from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 100 points, Tim Atkin, MW 100 points, Decanter 100 points, Jeb Dunnuck 100 points, The Wine Independent 100 points. This is the tasting note for 2009 Chateau Cheval Blanc St Emilion from Robert Parker - with a score of 100. Deep garnet colored, the 2009 Cheval Blanc offers up profound notions of baked blueberries, blackberry compote and crème de cassis with suggestions of chocolate mint, new leather and cloves plus a waft of candied violets. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is an exercise in elegance with very classy, super fine-grained tannins, beautiful freshness and layer upon layer of mineral-laced blue and black fruits, finishing long and perfumed.
