Château Cheval Blanc 2009

St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)

58% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Franc. At 10 years old, this is just so warm and welcoming, exotic and spicy, and surprisingly 'ready' in the sense that it does not feel a sin to drink it - perhaps a feature of the vintage. So ripe, all-enveloping and soft, with real 'mouth feel' and opulent texture. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
