Château Cheval Blanc 1998 (12 BT)

Château Cheval Blanc 1998

St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)

Good levels and general appearance

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

當年葡萄採收日期為9月21日至10月5日。每公頃產量3,200公升。56%梅樂、44%卡本納弗朗。2019年品嚐，撲鼻芳香現已略趨平和，但仍叫人欲罷不能！口感細膩，充滿酒莊主理人Pierre Lurton所形容的「羊絨般的丹寧」，洋溢清新果味，有如置身香料市集。我很好奇2000年份的白馬堡是否更有氣勢，不過這兩款佳釀必定會一直以最令人尊敬的方式，一爭高下。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）
