CHATEAU CHEVAL BLANC 1975 |

Château Cheval Blanc 1975 St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)u. 2bn, 3vts, 3ts, scuffed and stained labels, slightly sunken corks, excellent color and clarityA low yield of 21 hl/hectare. 13% alcohol. Just so intensely spicy and concentrated. Great freshness. That coriander finish one sometimes finds in a Cheval. From Jeroboam, it can be very chocolatey and truffley. It is a highly individual, very special wine that I love and it is certainly at the very top of the 1975s. In 2011, a wonderful, ferny, classy, elegant nose. Magic persistence. Some aniseed. Great sweetness on the palate. So tempting. The most delicious 1975 anywhere now. Perfect balance. Elegance and refinement, sweetness and such finesse of texture.
