The 2009 Le Petit Cheval has a slight more monotone bouquet than 2009 Magrez-Fombrauge. Nicely defined aromas with high-toned blue fruit fusing with blackberry and raspberry notes. It just feels a little static. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin, quite Left Bank in style thanks to subtle graphite and cedar notes. Good grip here, fresher than many; the finish displays admirable definition. Once the aromatics open up this could be very fine. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting.
Tasted blind. Very dark ruby. Rather tight, Cabernet-like nose. Tea leaves and a bit austere. Rather angular fruit. (JR)
Racy, treacly nose. Quite oaky. Round and sumptuous. A hint of malted cocoa. But lots of pleasure. (JR)
Informazioni sul produttore
Ch. Cheval Blanc is one the finest producers in Bordeaux. The Saint-Emilion estate’s Cabernet Franc-dominant wines are consistently among the top wines of the vintage.
