Description
Château Cheval Blanc 1983
St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)
Previous owner purchased from Sotheby's 'Cheval Blanc, Yquem and Dom Perignon Treasures Direct From The Cellars' in Hong Kong, 21 May 2010
Vintage from 29 September to 8 October, with a very long, late ripening season. 13% alcohol. Some Cabernet Franc suffered hail damage and was selected out of the blend. Press wine in new barrels added to the (successful) tannic structure. Immensely scented, like meaty bouillon. Blackcurrant intensity in the centre. Massive after-taste. Right at the top in this vintage. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
1 d.mag - 3 litres (owc)
