Description
Château Cheval Blanc 1982
St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)
u. 3bn, 1vts, labels slightly soiled, 1 of which slightly damaged, 4 with damp stained US slip labels
In 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.
