CHATEAU CHEVAL BLANC 1982 |

Château Cheval Blanc 1982 St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)Very good levels, color and clarity, labels slightly loose and soiled, 1 heavily damp stained, very slightly sunken corks, in 12 bottle original wooden caseOver Christmas 2017, we drank quite a bit of this and it is glorious. One always remembers that an astonishing 54 hl/hectare were made, that magic combination of quality and quantity. Equally noteworthy is the 12.8% alcohol! It has all the spices and leather of textbook Cheval Blanc, rich, powerful and mouth-filling - splendid with roast goose. It has years ahead of it.
