Château Cheval Blanc, 2002 Novelties Château Falfas spent nearly twelveSmoky, earthy, sweet red and black currant, fig, and menthol notes jump from the glass of this dark ruby plum hued, medium weight Cheval Blanc. Possessing sweet tannin, medium body, and undeniable elegance as well as nobility, this beautifully made effort appears slightly superior to the more hyped 2003. Interestingly, yields were 27 hectoliters per hectare in 2002, and 30 31 hectoliters per hectare in 2003. Robert Parker 90 points.
