Château Cheval Blanc, Ch. Cheval Blanc 2012

94 / 100 Robert Parker
A beautiful wine that always seems to drink well, the 2012 Cheval Blanc has a sweet, fragrant nose of black and red currants, floral nuances and spice. Supple, round and juicy, this wine can be drunk now or cellared for another 15 or more years.

95 / 100 Wine Spectator
This wine is gorgeous in all facets, offering a simultaneously loamy and creamy mouthfeel, seamless layers of red and black currant, cherry, raspberry and blackberry fruit, and a long, tobacco-fueled finish that features alluring hints of black tea and incense. The fruit and terroir shine in this broad, deep and defined style. Best from 2018 through 2030. 7,665 cases made.

17.5 / 20 Jancis Robinson
53% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Franc, 2% Cabernet Sauvignon. The vintage was divided in two: the first part was very rainy and then they were saved by an Indian summer. Very accessible. Charming. Very fragrant. Light and ballerina-like and very charming. Racy and very recognisably old-style Cheval Blanc.
