Château Cheval-Blanc--Vintage 1986
Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé (A)
Levels: bottom neck or better; faded and dirty labels, three nicked capsules
In original wooden case
"The 1986 still has a youthful dark ruby saturated color with no amber at the edge. The wine possesses a developing bouquet that offers up weedy tobacco, juxtaposed with sweet black berry, raspberry, and cherry fruit. The new oak that was so obvious in the wine's youth has moved to the background, offering more of a cedary character than raw wood. Medium to full-bodied, and moderately tannic, this is a delineated Cheval Blanc with more of a Medoc personality than typical St.-Emilion opulence. The wine is rich, intense, and well-made, but still requiring a few more years of bottle age. Anticipated maturity: 1999-2012" Robert Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition # B1 Jan 1998
