CHATEAU CHEVAL BLANC 1982 |

Château Cheval Blanc 1982 St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)u. 1bn, 1vts, wines come from different importers, scuffed and damp-stained labels, corroded capsules, excellent color and clarityIn 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 922 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
