Merchant's description
A classic vintage from elite Saint-Émilion estate, Château Cheval Blanc. In 2008, the final blend was composed of 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Franc. Aromatic character mingles with black fruit and redcurrant on the nose together with floral and fresh mint notes. Full bodied and concentrated on the palate, concluding on a long finish.
