Wine 1990 1er Grand Cru Classé A  Bordeaux Saint Emilion

Château Cheval Blanc had a fairly hot and dry year in 1990. The harvest, both qualitative and quantitative, presents an ideal maturity with very rich berries. 1990 is a very great, powerful vintage. An interesting cru classé to taste for all wine lovers.

Tasted "en famille" with members of the SoDivin team. Beautiful bright color, without any trace of evolution. Fairly discreet nose, which gradually opens towards subtle aromas of mushrooms, leather and coffee. But the most impressive aspect is the palate. Perfectly balanced, silky, velvety, full, rich, smooth, subtle and with infinite length. This wine has everything one could expect from a very great wine at full maturity. It deserves the maximum score.

 The 1990 Cheval Blanc is fast becoming my favorite modern-day vintage of this Saint Emilion estate and perhaps the 1990 is now exiting the slip-steam of the feted 1982. This is unequivocally a brilliant wine. The nose holds nothing back, a line of senses all doing the conga towards your olfactory senses: macerated dark cherries, exotic kirsch-like aromas, leather, mahogany bureau, touches of crème de cassis and herbs all vie for attention. The palate is full-bodied and cloaked in a silky, velvety texture that leaves you a little ga-ga. There is so much fruit ram-packed into the bravura of a finish. Moreover, there's just so much joie-de-vivre and decadence in this wine, but it never seems overpowering or ostentatious. This bottle came from perfect provenance, as it was served blind by winemaker Pierre Lurton at a private dinner hosted by a mutual friend in Bordeaux.

Extremely rich and smooth, but also notably appetising. This wine has been beautiful all its life. Dark and 'minerally' with a whiff of cordite. Wonderful combination of flattering richness and sweetness with freshness.

Château Cheval Blanc is a wine estate located in the commune of Saint-Emilion, on the border of the Pomerol appellation. The Château is a Premier Grand Cru Classé A in the official classification of Saint-Emilion classified growths. The vineyard consists of a single 37-hectare plot with several grape varieties: Cabernet Franc (49%), Merlot (47%), and Cabernet Sauvignon (4%). The estate produces the "Grand vin de Cheval Blanc" in red as well as a second wine "Le Petit Cheval" which is made in both red and white.

Cheval Blanc is one of the most consistent estates in the world, with the ability to be excellent at any age. The château's greatest vintages are 1921, 1945, the 1947 vintage, and 1949. There are also great successes in the 1950 vintage, 1953 wines, and the grand crus of 1959 and 1961. Finally, the wines from the 1990, 1998, and 2000 vintages are excellent.
