Château Cheval Blanc vintage 1996
Saint-Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)
90/100 points Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate,
April 1999
Lying in a private cellar in Paris, France
6 bottles in original wooden case
Tasting Note: “The elegant, moderately weighted 1996
Cheval Blanc reveals a deep garnet /plum, evolved colour.
Quintessentially elegant, with a complex nose of black
fruits, coconut, smoke and pain grille, this medium-bodied
wine exhibits fruit on the attack, substantial complexity,
and a lush, velvety-textured finish.
It is very soft and evolved for a 1996. Anticipated
maturity: 2000-2015.”
