Robert Parker's Wine Advocate : The 2008 Cheval Blanc is a winner from this underrated, classic vintage. Notes of forest floor, Asian plum sauce, black currants, sweet cherries and spice are followed by a medium to full-bodied wine with deep fruit, admirable purity, and a long, textured finish. There is not a hard edge to this wine, and in all likelihood, it can be drunk now or cellared for two decades.
Blend : 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Franc.
