Vinous

Medium ruby-red. Spicy, floral aromas of blueberry, violet pastille, licorice, bitter chocolate and black pepper. Very concentrated but currently tightly wound. An elegantly styled wine that can't match the 2000 for sheer layered richness, but impressively juicy and bright for the year. I may have slightly underrated this a year ago. This will not be bottled until November.

Robert Parker/Wine Advocate

The immensely sexy, totally disarming 1999 (a blend of 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Franc) boasts a deep purple color in addition to gorgeous aromas of jammy black fruits, coffee, cedar, and minerals. As the wine sits in the glass, additional nuances of kirsch and orange marmalade become apparent. A seamless classic, with an unctuous texture, gorgeous levels of fruit, and no hard edges, this compelling Cheval Blanc will be gorgeous to drink young, yet will last for two decades. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2020
