Cheval Blanc’s second wine, the 2005 Le Petit Cheval, possesses some of the character of its bigger sibling. Revealing a slight green streak among the cranberry and black cherry fruit along with medium body and a soft, plush texture, it is ideal for drinking over the next decade.
Score: 89 Robert Parker (RP), The Wine Advocate (WA), April 2008
The 2005 Le Petit Cheval shows the aromatic intensity but also the power of the Grand Vin, all in miniature of course. Far from an easygoing second wine, Le Petit Cheval packs quite a punch. Mocha, tobacco, cedar, dried flowers and red berry fruit all open with a bit of coaxing. I would give this a good bit of air, as it is not especially forthcoming.
