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. *** Note: No 1991 was produced under the Cheval Blanc label. * The 1992 will remind long-time readers of the light, soft, shallow 1973. Although there are some attractive berry, jammy, herb, and coffee notes in the nose, there is not much depth, body, or length. Drink it over the next 4-5 years.
