KILLING ME BOLDLY
How can anyone not treated like a king for being served a glass of the legendary 82 Cheval Blanc? It simply overwhelmed my palate, totally killing me boldly right at the middle of my heart, even a DRC Richebourg 91 wasn’t able to even apologize for the slack presence! The nose was almost muted apart from the softness. Content wise, I didn’t find any greenness like most Cabernet Franc! The extreme elegance was unparalleled, rich, layered, long, beefy, mind blowing chunky fruits. OMG! (9/2017)
Wine Advocate - 99 Points
The 1982 Cheval Blanc is a sumptuous, sensual wine, bursting with aromas of sweet raspberries, orange rind, dried flowers, cedar box, black truffles, vine smoke and menthol. Medium to full-bodied, ample and enveloping, it's supple and seamless, with a fleshy mid-palate, melting tannins and a long, expansive finish. As is often the case at this address, at age 40, it's the wine's Cabernet Franc component that really dominates its personality, meaning that it gratifies the intellect as completely as it does the senses. I've drunk the 1982 Cheval three times this year, and it has been remarkably consistently brilliant. (12/2022)
