Chateau Cheval Blanc 2014

Château Cheval Blanc is one of Bordeaux's most iconic wines, celebrated for its elegance, precision, and longevity. Aromas of blackberry, black cherry, violet, graphite, cedar, and fine spice lead to a silky, layered palate with remarkable freshness, refined tannins, and an exceptionally long finish.

Food Pairing: Pair with beef Wellington, roast lamb, duck breast, venison, truffle dishes, or aged hard cheeses for an unforgettable dining experience.

97 Points - Wine Spectator

This has dreamy aromas already, with notes of Lapsang souchong tea, smoldering cigar and cold charcoal wafting up from the core of dense yet supple currant, fig and blackberry preserves. A loamy edge thumps through the finish, giving this an addictive, head-bobbing bass line. Best from 2026 through 2040. 8,335 cases made.

96 Points - Wine Enthusiast

With its high proportion of Cabernet Franc (45%), this is a finely perfumed rich wine. It has great tannins, a smoky character that comes from the wood. The tannins are quite marked, giving a tight, firm edge to the wine that otherwise has generous fruitiness. This is a complex wine, impressive, and likely to age over many years. Drink from 2028.

94 Points - James Suckling

So much damson plum and plum cake richness, plus a substantial amount of fine tannin behind it, give this rich wine an impressively plush texture. Very long, supple finish that makes it hard not to reach for the glass once again. Drink or hold. Château Quintus vertical tasting. SP.
