Parker about Château Cheval Blanc 2004
The 2004 Cheval Blanc has always been a wine that I felt needed patience on behalf of the wine lover, and so it is proving to be the case. Served blind I remarked upon a surprisingly Burgundy-like bouquet with ample red cherries, candied strawberry and redcurrant scents, the Merlot clearly more conspicuous than the Cabernet Franc, at least for now. The palate is medium-bodied with just a touch of coarseness on the entry. I appreciate the weight and balance here and beadedly the Cabernet Franc begins to express itself on the latter half, lending structure and grip, a dash of spice and a bit of sinew. While it will never have the persistence of other vintages and regrettably continue to be dwarfed by the 2005, it remains a very fine Cheval Blanc from Pierre Lurton and his team.

Château Cheval Blanc 2004
Château Cheval Blanc 2004 presents itself as a wine of remarkable quality, reflecting the characteristic elegance and refinement of the winery, even in a year that is not one of the legendary vintages.
On the nose, this wine reveals a seductive palette of aromas. Aromas of dark berries such as cassis and blackberries are accompanied by subtle notes of violet, tobacco, and a hint of spice. These aromas are finely balanced and lend the bouquet an appealing complexity.
On the palate, Château Cheval Blanc 2004 displays an elegant structure and a silky mouthfeel. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, resulting in a supple texture. The fruit flavors are expressive and generous, accompanied by a lively acidity that lends the wine freshness and balance. Nuances of dark chocolate, herbs, and a hint of licorice contribute to the depth and complexity.
The finish is long and harmonious, with remarkable finesse. Château Cheval Blanc 2004 may not be one of the winery's absolute top vintages, but it still offers a high-quality drinking experience and displays the typical characteristics of an excellent Bordeaux wine in its understated elegance.
