Château Cheval-Blanc--Vintage 1985
Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé (A)
In original wooden case
Tasting note: It unveiled itself in the early 1990s: an initial whiff of iron, clover and mint, then almost pungent fruit. Several increasingly admiring notes since the turn of the century. By Jan 2005 lovely, floral, herbaceous bouquet; easy, charming, delicious. Most recently: medium-deep, lovely colour, open, inviting, mature rim; low-keyed at first though very fragrant, whiff of iron; sweet, perfect weight, flavour, balance and finesse. A beautiful wine. Last tasted April 2006 ***** Now-2026 M.B.
