A giant of a wine. The complex aromas and thickly textured flavors range from plum and raisin to coffee, minerals and mint. Not so elegant as a typical Cheval; more in the mold of the powerful '47 and legendary '21. Drink or hold.--Cheval-Blanc vertical.

A red that I have always appreciated. Beautiful aromas of licorice, spice, flowers and dried fruits such as prunes. Full-bodied with soft and fine tannins and ripe fruit. The rich, dried fruit character was fabulous with minced Peking Duck in lettuce leaf.

A glorious wine, and one of the candidates for the wine of the vintage, Cheval Blanc’s 1983 shows far more evolved color than its older sibling, the 1982. With explosive aromatic notes of sweet jammy plum, black currant, smoke, coffee, and Asian spice, opulent, medium to full-bodied and lush, this is a gorgeous, very sexy, seductive style of Cheval Blanc that has been consistently delicious from the time it was bottled. It shows no signs of decline despite some increasing amber in the color. The tannins are still sweet, the fruit very present, and the wine totally intact. Anticipated maturity: Now-2010. Last tasted, 1/03.

Château Cheval Blanc
Il crée des cuvées phénoménales, tous millésimes confondus. Certaines figurent même parmi les plus réputées de la planète… En un mot, le mythique Château Cheval Blanc se trouve au summum. Bernard Arnault et Albert Frère ont jeté leur dévolu sur la propriété à la fin des années 1990, ne lésinant pas sur les moyens pour faire de Cheval Blanc le plus grand château de la Rive Droite. Reconnu Grand Cru Classé A, Cheval Blanc met à l’honneur le cabernet franc, dans une proportion qui est la plus élevée de toute la région de Bordeaux. Limitrophe de l’appellation Pomerol, plus de la moitié de ses 39 hectares de vignes sont plantés de ce cépage. Le domaine compte quarante-cinq parcelles au total, disséminées sur toute la zone. Cette mosaïque de terroirs, ainsi que l’encépagement dominé par le cabernet franc, expliquent la grande complexité du vin. Un Cheval Blanc au profil classique se distingue par ses arômes riches et concentrés de petits fruits noirs, d’une complexité intense, et ses saveurs d’épices douces. Une dizaine d’années de garde ou plus révélera la texture soyeuse du grand vin Cheval Blanc dans toute sa splendeur. Un vin hors pair.
