Chateau Cheval Blanc Chateau Rouget They plant one heritage selectionPRE ORDER 1994 V 92 Good medium color, less saturated than the '95. Pungent, vibrant aromas of sappy berries and resiny oak, with an intriguing floral nuance. At once thick and polished on the palate, with an herbal, peppery complexity.

Not quite as ripe or seamless as the '95, but a very classy, intensely flavored wine that should put on weight in bottle. 1996 WS 91 Medium
