Le Petit Cheval, Blanc, St Emilion,

The first nose is notably marked by the Cabernet Franc. Very fresh, precise with lovely spicy notes and black pepper, floral hints and the liquorice notes which are characteristic of the Cabernet Francs of this property. This wine is almost more stylistic of a Cabernet Franc than Cheval Blanc itself. It has lovely juicy red fruits and a delicate attack followed by impressive power. The quality of the tannins is impressive and the wine is well-balanced.
