Château Cheval-Blanc--Vintage 1989
Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé (A)
Levels: into neck; signs of seepage
In original wooden case
"First noted at a tasting arranged for me by the late Jean-Paul Valette at the Maison du Vin in St. Emilion. Alongside the other 1er grand cru St. Emilions it had extra dimensions. Interestingly, though not 'remotely the weight of the first growth Medocs', its alcoholic strength is higher, 13 A wine of distinctive charm and elegance...Next noted in its tenth year: mature looking; perfect harmony; the lightest in style, easiest of the first eight growths. A lovely wine though. Last noted at the Eigensatzs' Hotel Eden-Parc in Bad Schwalbach, Oct 2001 ***** Now-2005 MB, Vintage Wine
