Château Cheval Blanc 1981

St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)

u. vts, scuffed and nicked label, slightly sunken cork, sign of old seepage

Lovely red fruit scent. Real cocoa and prunes taste. Heavenly finish of really ripe red fruit. Balance. From magnum in 2012, so full of complex flavours of the damp forest floor. Silky and gulpable. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
