    This bold, ripe wine is full of smoky tannins from the wood aging, plus blackberry jam flavors that are nicely cut by the acidity. The dry core and dark chocolate flavors are balanced by the fresher, richer fruit. Drink now.

    Celebrating the foundation of Cheval Quancard in 1844, this is a solid, dense and well-made wine from ripe grapes. The balance is good with tannins already integrating well into the juicy, ripe acidity. It's ready to drink but will age at least until 2019.
