Smoky aromas and layers of tannin and fruit give this wine great complexity. It is smooth, juicy and fresh while also having perfumed tannins and an elegant, lightly mineral structure from the Cabernet Franc. The wine's cherries and red berries are still encased in the structure, allowing it to develop slowly. Drink from 2024."
52 % Cabernet Franc, 48 % Merlot. Tiefes Purpur, satt in der Mitte, Granatschimmer am Rand. Verhaltenes Bouquet, man muss ihm entgegengehen, im zweiten Ansatz viele herrliche Teearomen versprühend (Darjeeling und Earl Grey), Maulbeeren, Brombeeren, dunkle Edelhölzer, eine feinminzige Spitze darin zeigend. Im Gaumen samtig, weich, schöne Fülle, die Tannine sind fein und cremig, schön gebündelt im langen Finale, welches Pflaumenschalen und Tabak mit sich trägt. Für einen ganz grossen Cheval fehlt halt, wie es anzunehmen war, die Merlotfülle, aber die wunderbar gelungenen Cabernet Francs kompensieren einen grossen Teil dieses möglichen Mankos. Nicht unähnlich dem 2008er Cheval. Und dieser liegt aktuell bei 19/20. Also könnte dies in ein paar Jahren beim Cheval 2013 auch der Fall sein."
This is has a very beautiful structure and length for a 2013. Full to medium body, ultra fine tannins and a long and lively finish. Impressive. Racy and refined. Tight still. Better in 2018 but pretty now."
Restrained at first, with a subtle tobacco leaf hint, this expands steadily and forcefully in the glass, revealing layers of warmed fig, macerated black currant and blackberry coulis fruit woven with notes of ganache, warm gravel and freshly brewed black tea. There's power in reserve, but this remains elegant overall. A great effort. Best from 2018 through 2028. 1,367 cases made."
One of the best of the lineup, this has supple tannins, nuanced raspberry and redcurrant fruit, with lift and juice through the finish. Still an early drinker with higher acidity than in most years of this wine, but one that is worth seeking out and enjoying, with just a hint of the magic of these soils. 60% 1st wine with the rest divided into 20% Petit Cheval, with 20% declassified."
Medium garnet in color, the 2013 Cheval Blanc is a tad broody to start, offering notions of dried herbs, tar, and damp soil before giving way to notes of prunes, fruitcake, and beef dripping with a touch of unsmoked cigars. The medium-bodied palate is all class, with fine-grained tannins and delicately knit, well-sustained fruit, finishing with a minerally lift."
Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, breitere Randaufhellung, ein Hauch von Preiselbeeren, zart nach Gewürzen, Orangenzesten, noch zurückhaltend. Eleganter Körper, feine Extraktsüße, feine, gut integrierte Tannine, süße, seidige Textur, gute Länge, charmanter Stil, etwas Nougat im Nachhall, verfügt über Nachhall und einiges Potenzial."
Medium garnet colored, the 2013 Cheval Blanc has a captivating, open-knit nose of roses and lilacs over a core of fragrant soil, charcuterie, kirsch and raspberry preserves plus a waft of stewed plums. Medium-bodied, chewy and with tons of spring to its step, the palate is delicately fruited with an earthy finish."
Light, fresh, bright, elegant, soft, forward and user friendly style of wine with sweet, cherries, licorice, flowers and plums in its core that carry though to the fresh, red berry, polished, soft textured, finish."
Notably pale, almost ruby. Light, sweet nose. SO laid back! Obviously they decided not to push this wine in the winery and it gives the impression of sort of 'take it or leave it' but it has an amazingly impressive fresh, long finish. Very distinctive."
This has always been a modest wine, conscious of the risks of over-extracting and trying to find a weight of fruit that simply wasn't present in the vintage. There are delicate raspberry aromas of considerable charm and an immediately accessible palate, fluid and upfront, with delicacy and flair rather than structure or depth. It's well balanced, quite long, but not for much more cellaring."
On its own, the 2013 Cheval Blanc could easily be the wine of an evening, but on this occasion it is was paired with the likes of the 2010, 2009, 2000, and 1990. Nevertheless, it’s a true Cheval Blanc and offers beautiful notes of red and black fruits, leafy herbs, spice, and cedarwood. Seamless, medium-bodied, and elegant on the palate, with ripe and integrated tannins, it’s going to continue drinking nicely for another 10-15 years."
