Tasting notes
A light-bodied, shallow wine for this great estate, the 1992 Cheval Blanc displays a vanillin-dominated nose with berry, jammy, herb, and coffee notes. There is not much depth, body, or length. Drink it over the next 4-5 years as the hard tannin in the finish suggests that this wine will dry out quickly.

Slightly underwhelming for this estate, but some beautiful oak complements good berry, meat and fruit character. Light-to-medium bodied, light tannins and crisp finish.-James Suckling, Wine Spectator 1995
