CHATEAU CHEVAL BLANC 1982 |

Château Cheval Blanc 1982 St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)u. vts, scuffed, cellar soiled, and damp stained label, label torn and partially missing, nicked capsulesIn 2019, one is just so amazed that it is so youthful - a huge, all-enveloping, black fruit mouthful. To think that 54hl/hectare were made, that magic combination of quality and quantity. And only 12.8% alcohol. Super-class, concentrated richness and a hint of 'iron in its soul'. Velvet in the mouth, with an astonishing blackberry finish that I have not seen before. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 921 bt (sc)Estimates are per lot
