Description
Château Cheval Blanc 1998
St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)
Levels into the neck, very slightly nicked label, chipped wax capsule fully revealing cork, Mexico import tag
Vintage from 21 September to 5 October. 32 hl/ hectare made. 56% Merlot, 44% Cabernet Franc. In 2019, the aromatic impact on the nose is very present, although calmer now! Great finesse of texture, Pierre Lurton's 'pashmina tannins', with freshness of fruit and a visit to the spice bazaar. I wonder now if the 2000 has more force, but these two vintages will forever 'fight it out', in the most noble way of course. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
