Château Cheval Blanc 1990 (6 BT)

Château Cheval Blanc 1990

St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)

Excellent levels, color and clarity, good general appearance

Vintage from 11 September to 25 September - only the 1945 and the 1989 were picked earlier during this century. Strict thinning out in this prolific vintage produced 38 hl/hectare. 55% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Franc. 13.5% alcohol. The overripe Merlot this year was balanced by Cabernet Franc freshness. The dream comparison with 1989. In 2011 from double magnum, a nose of figs. Toast and caramel. An amazing array of scents. Fabulous, sweet, spicy cinnamon on the palate. Pure silk. Tremendously seductive with sweet leather at the end. In 2013, just incredible - one of the greatest Cheval Blancs. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

這是收採於9月11至25日期間的佳釀 -- 本世紀只有1945及1989年比這年更早採收。這一年產量豐富，但葡萄都經過嚴格篩選，每公頃只生產了3,800升。葡萄品種分別是55%梅洛和45%的卡本納．弗朗，酒精濃度為13.5%。清爽的卡本納．弗朗將這個年份的過度成熟的梅洛調和得恰到好處。能與1989年份鬥過難分難解之有趣作品。於2011年品嚐三公升作品，充滿無花果香、烤麵包及焦糖味，洋溢繽紛香氣。甜美可人而帶點辛辣的肉桂味道，絲般感受。甜絲絲的皮革感作收結，極度誘人。2013年品嚐，十分精彩 -- 為最出色的白馬堡作品之一。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）
