This is wonderful. Soft black cherry, plush damson and violets, a hint of graphite. Great texture. So harmonious and complete. Enchanting. As good as bordeaux gets. Wow

The 1982 Cheval Blanc is a vintage that I have not drunk for a number of years, so this was a pertinent reminder of its pulchritude. It has a flat-out gorgeous bouquet with ebullient red fruit, warm bricks (terracotta), hints of liquorice and strawberry jam. It's the kind of bouquet that you could bathe in. The palate has a ripe entry, voluptuous yet exquisitely balanced, the Cabernet components of this Cheval Blanc quite expressed and more pronounced than I recall. Yet it's toying with you as it segues into a more Burgundy-like final third. Mercurial, sensual and riveting. Tasted at the 1982 Dinner at Hatched. (Neal Martin, Vinous, September 2022)

This is all kinds of sexy. Subtle velvety fruit with real texture and luxurious soft cherry fruit. Wonderful balance and clarity and a beautiful long finish. Great stuff.

Unbelievable. This wine hit all the superlatives. Profound depth, seamless mid-palate, smooth lush finish. This may be a top 10 all time wine for me. Poise and class times infinity divided by epic.

Leftovers from a Thursday night at work; still powerful after 34 years! Very well integrated and so much finesse.
