Château Cheval Blanc 1987

Tasting notes

"Considered the most difficult vintage of the decade, 1984 constitutes a pleasant surprise. It has good body, but is strongly marked by the near total absence of Merlot, which suffered greatly from the heavy rain in May. The fairly deep brick-red colour shows that the wine is old. However, the discreet, elegant nose also displays certain freshness - a reflection of the huge proportion of Cabernet Franc in the blend. The wine is moderately well-structured on the palate and shows some astringency on the aftertaste. "
