1986 Chateau Cheval Blanc (Very Slightly Stained Label) French "Aromas of dried apple"It has a gorgeous bouquet that you could lose yourself in with red berry fruit, quite tertiary at first, and scents of meat juices, fennel, juniper and wilted flowers. The palate is medium bodied with melted tannins, exquisite balance, light sous bois and black truffle notes that infuse the dark berry fruit towards the persistent finish." 94 100 Vinous
