Château Cheval Blanc St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 1985
Fully mature, but capable of lasting another 10-15 years, this flamboyantly scented wine (jammy black fruits, licorice, Asian spices, herbs, grilled meats) is a lusciously rich, opulent, medium to full-bodied, fat and juicy style of Cheval Blanc that seems to get better and better every time I taste it. Like so many Cheval Blancs, it has the uncanny ability to put on weight in the bottle. Robert Parker

One of the best CB I have ever had, captured the essence of Merlot and Cab Franc and this wine's signature style at this time perfectly.

Near to perfect as can be. IMO a $68.00 well spent (30 yrs ago). So moving in its complexity, refinement and sophistication. No where near decline. So inviting; I just wanted to dive my soul into the glass. Bravo!
