Château Cheval Blanc 2005 (6 BT)

Château Cheval Blanc 2005

St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)

Excellent levels and appearance apart 1 label very slightly nicked at bottom; Excellents niveaux et apparence à part 1 étiquette très légèrement entaillée en bas

55% Cabernet Franc, 45% Merlot. Very spicy nose with a real coffee taste. Very classic in structure, without excessive extraction which is not their style. They prefer to bring out the freshness to balance the richness. Silky, harmonious and so 'clean'. This could be their best wine since 1998, although the jury is out and it would be foolish to forget the 2000. In 2015, so fresh, with so much fruity attack. Meaty and so lively.

A brilliant collection of Bordeaux from a pristine modern cellar, comprising all the leading names and the best vintages produced between 2000 and 2010. All the wines were purchased directly from one of the most reputable and established Bordeaux Négociants. This is sourced from a much larger collection and has a great selection of bottles, magnums and double magnums with a clear focus on First Growths. This is evidently the cellar of a wine lover with true passion and extremely discerning tastes.
