Château Cheval Blanc 1982
St. Emilion 1er Grand Cru Classé
(1 base neck, all bin-soiled, lightly stained labels)
“Revealing considerable amber in its dark plum/garnet color, this intensely fragrant 1982 is somewhat of a paradox in that the front end suggests full maturity, but the midpalate finish, and overall texture denote a closed wine. A gorgeously sweet entrydisplays flavors of caramel, roasted coffee, jammy red and black fruits, coconut, and smoke. It is fat and full-bodied, with considerable tannin, structure, and muscle in the finish. Flamboyantly rich and precocious early in life, it is going through an awkward stage where the tannin is present, but it is also sexy, juicy, and formidably structured. When the 1982 Cheval Blanc’s component parts become totally in sync, it will be capable of meriting a three digit rating.” (99pts RP)
