Description
Château Cheval Blanc 1989
St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)
u. 5bn, 5vts, 1ts, 1t/hs, slightly scuffed capsules, excellent levels, appearance, color, and clarity
The earliest vintage of the century at Cheval Blanc. Close to 50% Merlot, 50% Cabernet Franc. An ultra-generous 47 hl/hectare made. There were days when the temperature went over 40 degrees Celsius. It has been gloriously evolving all its life, rich, chocolatey, complex and deep, absolutely top-notch in all bottle sizes. In 2016, its great Russian leather bouquet was so exotic and fragrant. On the palate, all violets and tobacco and, above all, so succulent. I was tempted to write, Just wallow in it! Serena Sutcliffe, MW
