Tasting Notes
The Château Cheval Blanc 1998 is a flawless expression of elegance, power, and complexity, widely considered one of the estate’s greatest vintages. It displays a deep ruby color with garnet reflections, revealing its remarkable concentration and aging potential.
On the nose, it exudes an incredibly complex and layered bouquet of black cherries, ripe plums, violets, graphite, and truffle, elegantly intertwined with cedar, tobacco, and exotic spices.
The palate is nothing short of magnificent—full-bodied, silky, and impeccably structured, offering seamless tannins, vibrant acidity, and extraordinary depth. Layers of dark berries, mocha, licorice, and earthy undertones unfold gracefully, leading to an exceptionally long, harmonious, and unforgettable finish. Already a masterpiece, this wine still holds decades of aging potential.
