In the shadow of the magnificent 1982 vintage, the 1983 vintage offers very great wines in red Bordeaux. A trend that is confirmed with this Château Cheval Blanc 1983, intense and very aromatic. On the palate, aromas of blackcurrant and anise slightly accentuate the sweetness of the wine. A classified growth of Saint Emilion which will seduce all lovers of old wines.

(09-1998) It had such a sweet, lovely, 'melting charm'.

(12-2007) Very pale with brick rim – very rich, complete and glorious. Long and peacock’s tale on the finish. Very delicate – rather overwhelmed by the heavily spiced potstickers and matsutake mushroom emulsion served avec – shame because it’s still a very beautiful wine but it did not show its best with this strongly flavoured food.

(10-2022) Fully developed, and probably just a bit on the other side of maturity as the wine is a bit fading, the perfume, with its truffle, dried flower, leafy herb, tobacco leaf, and earthy cherries get you going. Elegant, refined, silky, and earthy on the palate, the wine leaves you with herbs, truffle, and plum in the finish.

(10-2008) Tasted single blind at the Fine Wine Experience horizontal in London. A deep garnet core. A very well defined, herbaceous nose, with tobacco, chestnut, savoury fruit and a touch of dates. Quite complex and with very good vigour, the Cabernet Franc right in the (slightly bretty?) saddle. After thirty minutes, a lovely menthol character coming through. The palate is medium-bodied, very well balanced with fine tannins and superb acidity. Very well poised with great tension. Pure blackberry, raspberry, Chinese tea, tobacco and dried leaves. Lovely, elegant, very focused finish. Superb Cheval, multi-faceted if not as sophisticated as the ‘85.

(03-1999) 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.
