Green pepper, cassis and raspberry aromas. Thick, rich flavors that have lots of spice and acidity. Still quite young even at 5 years, but with the bright fruit and bracing and austere refreshing mouthfeel serve as signs of great aging potential.

Sweet, rich, concentrated nose of coffee and cocoa on the nose, with plums and blackberries. Bramble flavors, acids apparent, but there are beautiful raspberry, blackberry and cherry flavors. Thick and rich, still tight with bold tannins. Good structure and its still tasty but the tannins dominate.

Good bright ruby-red. Subdued but pure aromas of plum, flowers, licorice, menthol and Asian spices. Suave on entry, then dry and tight in the middle; extremely backward and shut down. Most impressive now for its finesse of texture. But today theres ... Stephen Tanzers IWC. A Bordeaux Blend wine from Bordeaux in France. 2004 Cheval Blanc 750ml

Eighty thousand bottles of 2004 Cheval Blanc were produced from a blend of 55% Cabernet Franc and 45% Merlot. Subtle herb, menthol, cranberry, black currant, and licorice aromas emerge from this dark ruby/plum-colored wine. It is medium-bodied and el... Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.

"This may be the finest Cheval Blanc since the monumental 2000. Only 50% of the crop made it into the final blend (55% Cabernet Franc and 45% Merlot). Cheval has a tendency to come across as a bit light in its infancy, but the 2004 lacks neither

Winemaker's Notes:

Parker review: "This may be the finest Cheval Blanc since the monumental 2000.... .A deep<br/>ruby/purple color is accompanied by a classic Cheval perfume of menthol, red as<br/>well as black currants, smoke, oranges, and black tea. It possesses beautiful<br/>sweetness and purity, medium body, extraordinary elegance, and potential<br/>complexity. While not a blockbuster in the style of the 2000 and 1998, it is a<br/>precise, fragrant, potentially top-flight effort as well as one of the finest<br/>wines of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2022." 93-95/100<br/>points. (Robert Parker - Wine Advocate - Apr-2005)
