Cheval Blanc Vintage:2001 This big boy demands patience

This big boy demands patience

Cerequio is a wine of latitude and depth

After a timid opening it settles down with attractive mulberry

A touch of reduction does not completely undermine the attractiveness of the otherwise pretty red berry fruit and soft earth notes

as it has really come on strong with bottle age

Cheval Blanc Vintage:2001 This big boy demands patienceA nice wine, but a moderate Cheval Blanc is the right way to state things here. Medium bodied, with a distinctive herbal edge, there is a crisp quality to the plums along with alternating sweet and tart fruits in the finish. There is no reason to age this any longer.
