Still alive and kicking. Red core with bricking edges. Lovely nose of classic claret. Cigar box, raspberries, sous bois, flowers. On the palate slightly thinner than I expected but still delicious. Sweet fruit still showing with fine acidity and balance. Needs drinking over the next year or so.

Color is med garnet, nose has plenty of leather, floral and truffles aroma. Ample fruit on palate with refreshing acidity and fruit sweetness. Tannin is smooth with a slightly dry finish. Cedar and tobacco from mid palate, overall more about elegant than power.

Château Cheval Blanc vertical tasting dinner #1 (Vienna Cafe & Wine Bar): Light ruby. Fantastic nose, much better than the last bottle. Not as rustic and the old library book smell was lacking with this bottle. Light in weight but has a graceful mouthfeel. Red fruits, Brett, menthol, mushroom, and roses. The Brett was fairly strong, but something I tend to like when it has a sweetness to it, as with this wine.
