The 1998 Cheval Blanc is a blend of 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc, presenting a deep garnet-brick hue. On the nose, it offers aromas of exotic spices, incense and dried roses, complemented by hints of cigar box and licorice. Flavours reveal a core of crème de cassis, dried cherries and nuances of black tea and dusty earth. Medium to full-bodied, its plush texture leads to a mid-palate burst of Chinese five spice, concluding with a lengthy finish. Cheval Blanc is a revered Right Bank estate that has been classified as a Premier Grand Cru since 1954.
