* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A burnt-toast, spicy aroma is followed by fresh black currant flavors. This is a light wine, but it is balanced, with the wood fitting well into the fruit. Drink now.

From a vineyard planted on the island of Margaux in the Gironde estuary, this soft wine has stalky fruits, very berry, burnished with wood and given a spicy character. It is ready to drink now, the acidity and juicy finale dominant.

A selection of the best cuvées creates a wine that has some weight and density, although the extreme juiciness gives fresh black currant flavors. The tannins are present, but soft.

Attractive, simple Bordeaux, its acidity kept nicely in check by bright black berry fruits, some sweet tannins and a well- judged amount of wood. For drinking now.

Fresh, juicy wine, with a smoky wood character, light black currant flavors and soft tannins. It is bright, just a little green, ready to drink.

Plenty of dense texture here, derived from a liberal use of wood. That gives spice to the black berry fruit and bitter chocolate extract. In two years, this will be showing well.

A finely balanced wine, its tannins showing the influence of Cabernet Sauvignon along with its signature black currant flavors. There is also weight and an attractive plumper character that broadens the wine, surrounding the tannins with sweet berry fruits.

Firmly structured, this is a significant improvement on 2007, with the wood kept in play but not dominant. That’s because the fruit is so bright, with juicy berries bubbling along, leaving refreshing acidity at the end.

Heavy bottles and heavy extract seem to go together; proving the point is this wine. Heavy toast dominates the berry fruit. The normal wine from Cheval Noir is much more attractive.

Dark in color, with a series of herbal aromas, this is dense and rich, with fine layers of berry fruits and solid tannins. It has a definite fresh character, with juicy fruit and acidity playing against the dry texture.
