Tasting Notes
The Château Cheval Blanc 2008 is an exceptionally elegant and structured wine, showcasing a deep ruby color with garnet edges, reflecting its maturity and balance.
On the nose, it is incredibly expressive, offering a complex bouquet of blackberries, red cherries, truffle, violets, and graphite, elegantly layered with cedar, cocoa, and a touch of exotic spices.
The palate is full-bodied yet refined, with silky tannins, fresh acidity, and remarkable precision. Flavors of dark berries, mocha, licorice, and earthy undertones unfold gracefully, leading to a long, polished, and harmonious finish. This is a vintage of finesse, power, and aging potential, drinking beautifully now but promising further evolution over the next 20+ years.
