Château Cheval-Blanc 1982
Saint-Emilion, grand cru classé (A)
Slightly worn capsules. Slightly bin-soiled labels, one slightly damaged. Levels top-shoulder
Tasting note: Superb wine first tasted in cask (Cabernet Franc 60%, Merlot 34%, Malbec 5%, a dash of Cabernet Sauvignon, 1%). Charming and winsome. By the mid-1990s oozingly rich sunburnt ‘legs’; rich bouquet; well evolved but with slightly bitter tannic / iron finish. Most recently: medium-deep, lovely colour; distinctive style, harmonious; touch of earthiness and iron, very distinctive, silky texture, perfection. Last tasted July 2002 ***** M.B.
