Tasting notes
The 2006 Cheval Blanc has a powerful, inviting aroma of ripe red fruit and Virginia tobacco that reflects the benefits of barrel aging. The wine starts full-bodied and rich, combining the softness of Merlot and the fragrant elegance of Cabernet Franc. In addition to its impressive fruitiness, rich tannins and balance lead to a wonderful long finish.
