Tasting Notes
The Château Cheval Blanc 2016 is a monumental vintage, combining power, elegance, and precision in a way that defines the estate’s legacy. It exhibits a deep ruby-purple color, indicating its concentration, vibrancy, and immense aging potential.
On the nose, it is highly expressive and complex, unveiling aromas of ripe blackberries, cassis, violets, truffle, and cedar, beautifully complemented by hints of graphite, dark chocolate, tobacco, and exotic spices.
The palate is full-bodied, rich, yet astonishingly refined, featuring silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and a structure of breathtaking precision. Layers of dark fruit, licorice, floral notes, and subtle earthy nuances unfold seamlessly, leading to a long, powerful, and incredibly polished finish. This 100-point masterpiece is already magnificent but will continue to evolve beautifully for 50+ years.
