Description
Château Cheval Blanc 1982
St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)
u. 6bn, 2vts, very slightly sunken corks, very slightly scuffed capsules by case dividers, otherwise very good colour, clarity and general appearance for its age
Vintage from 20 September to 2 October. An astonishing 54 hl/hectare made - 160,000 bottles of 1982 were produced when the average is 90-100 ,000. And this in a drought year! The crop was so healthy that no sorting was necessary. 12.8% alcohol - somewhat surprising in today's context. In 2011, quite a meaty nose, spices and soy sauce. Really big tannic structure on the palate, with leather and coffee and a rich, liqueur finish. Great with pork buns! In 2013, a bit closed, just thinking about its very long future life!
