Chateau Cheval Blanc St Emilion 1980

Although 1980 was a relatively mediocre vintage across St. Emilion, Château Cheval Blanc managed to pull through with a fair amount of success. This medium-bodied wine shows abundant tertiary notes of stewed red fruits, raisined plums, cedar, and herbs. Soft tannins and bright acid lead to a silky and mellow finish. Drink now.
