1997 CHÂTEAU CHEVAL BLANC 1997

(09-2007)

(11-2001)
Intensity, stylish, good length. Sweet, delicious. A delight to drink by itself.

(01-2000)
Lovely aromas of ripe fruit, coffee and toasted oak. Medium- to full-bodied, with a good backbone of tannin and a medium finish. A bit austere. Too much wood? Give this a little time.

(04-2000)
A seductive, fragrant style of Cheval Blanc, with moderate density and weight, this immediately appealing 1997 exhibits an exotic nose of coconut, plums, cherry liqueur, and sweet, toasty oak. The wine's alluring personality is accompanied by fine suppleness, low acidity, medium body, and current drinkability.-
