Château Cheval-Blanc--Vintage 1985
Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé (A). Château-bottled
Tasting note: Fully mature, but capable of lasting another 10-15 years, this flamboyantly scented wine (jammy black fruits, licorice, Asian spices, herbs, grilled meats) is a lusciously rich, opulent, medium- to full-bodied, fat, and juicy style of Cheval Blanc that seems to get better and better every time I taste it. Like so many Cheval Blancs, it has the uncanny ability to put on weight in the bottle. Anticipated maturity: Now-2005. Last tasted, 1/98. Points: 93.
