Château Cheval Blanc 1988 (1 JM50)

Château Cheval Blanc 1988

St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)

Previously purchased in Sotheby's HK on 29-31 March 2019 "Tran-scend-ent Wines", late release in 2010, new label and capsule, very slightly smudged label

38 hl/hectare made. Vintage took place from 1-10 October. This was the first year the second wine, Petit Cheval, was made. Glorious spicy nose. Intense cloves. Immensely aromatic. Pepper and plums. Flavour of Russian leather, a Cheval Blanc characteristic. This is really showing now, at 22 years old. Then, in 2011, an explosive nose, more in bottle than in magnum, at this stage. Almost Burgundian. Russian leather again. Coffee bean and woodsmoke. So ample, so multi-dimensional. Such a marvellous thick texture. So rich and sweet. Great, black fruit length. This, for me, is the "cat's whiskers"!  Serena Sutcliffe, MW

在10月1日至10月10日間採收，產量為每公頃3,800 升。同年白馬堡亦創製了副牌酒Petit Cheval。令人著迷的馥郁辛香。濃烈的丁香味。香味濃郁泛溢。帶胡椒及李子味道。那俄羅斯皮革的味道正正是白馬堡佳釀之特色。陳年二十二載的佳釀，芳華正盛，盈盈散發著美感。2011年品嚐，酒香撲鼻，標準瓶裝比1.5瓶裝稍優。幾乎有布艮第的感覺。依然有俄羅斯皮革的味道。咖啡豆和煙燻木的味道。豐滿、層次繽紛，質感渾圓厚實，甜美濃郁。美味悠長的黑肉水果味。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師 M.W.）
