Château Cheval-Blanc--Vintage 1985
Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé (A)
One damaged capsule
Tasting Note: One of my absolute favourite wines. For me, perfection....Most recently, sandwiched between the excellent and rare '78 Barca Velha and '62 La Tâche, at a wine dinner at home. Decanted at 7.45pm, served two hours later: now medium deep, rich, with mature rim; a lovely, fully evolved bouquet; perfect sweetness, body, flavour, tannin and acidity. Last tasted June 2000 ***** Perfect now but balanced sufficiently for, say, another ten years M.B.
