While 1996 is widely celebrated as a Left Bank Cabernet Sauvignon vintage, Château Cheval Blanc produced a legendary masterpiece on the Right Bank thanks to its extraordinarily high proportion of brilliant Cabernet Franc. Now perfectly mature, it offers a breathtakingly precise and intellectual tasting experience. It presents an aristocratic bouquet of dried cassis, crushed violets, mint, fine leather, and deep graphite minerality. Medium-bodied, the vintage's hallmark vibrant acidity preserves a remarkable sense of vitality and structural focus, while the tannins are completely seamless and silky.
