Chateau Cheval Blanc 2004 Chateau Cheval Blanc 2004 St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classe (A) Lot 9248: Purchased in the Sotheby's Cheval Blanc Auction in Hong Kong May 21, 2010, original tissues Lots 9249-9254: Original tissues Vintage from 22 September to 5 October. 13.2% alcohol. 53% Cabernet Franc, 47% Merlot. This is just so vivid and so intensely vanilla. So much glycerol (a feat this year), succulence and yet freshness, which is one of the joys of this initially underestimated vintage. Later in 2008, a really classy, blackberry nose. Chocolate velvet on the palate. Slips down, as well it should. Russian leather and liquorice. Serena Sutcliffe, M.W.

The brilliant technical team at the property coaxes the maximum from this plateau just over the road from Pomerol, where gravel ridges bestow class to the wine and the high percentage of Cabernet Franc gives such scent. And the voluptuous character? That is the magic ingredient, which can be perceived throughout. Cheval Blanc is stunning drunk when it is relatively young, but it also ages in exotic multi-dimensional fashion. Serena Sutcliffe, MW Quantity: 1
