Robert Parker 94 Points.  The dense ruby/purple-hued 2003 Cheval Blanc’s ethereal
bouquet of menthol, coffee, wet stones, black cherries, blackberries, and hints of
graphite and spice soars from the glass.  An equal part blend of Cabernet Franc
and Merlot, it is medium to full-bodied with a gorgeous texture in addition to high
tannins that glide over the palate with no angularity or astringency.  While it does
not quite reach the perfection of the 2000, it should rival the profound 1998 and
1990. This is not a Cheval Blanc for near-term drinking as it demands at least a
decade’s worth
of cellaring.  Anticipated maturity: 2017-2035.

Wine Spectator 96 Points.  This is really gorgeous on the nose, with blackberry,
mineral, light vanilla bean and milk chocolate.  Full-bodied, with ultrafine tannins
and a long, caressing finish.  This is racy and very beautiful.  The tannins coat
the palate, but leave a provoking impression.  A Cheval for long-term aging.
Best after 2017.-JS
