Château Cheval Blanc vintage 1996
Saint-Emilion,1er Grand Cru Classé (A)

90/100 points Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, #122 April 1999

Lying in a private cellar tax free in Bordeaux, France
6 bottles in original wooden case

Tasting Note: "The elegant, moderately weighted 1996 Cheval Blanc reveals a deep garnet/plum, evolved color. Quintessentially elegant, with a complex nose of black fruits, coconut, smoke, and pain grille, this medium-bodied wine exhibits sweet fruit on the attack, substantial complexity, and a lush, velvety-textured finish. It is very soft and evolved for a 1996. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2015."
