Michael Broadbent June - 2000
Michael Broadbent
Medium deep, rich, with mature rim; a lovely fully evolved bouquet; perfect sweetness, body, flavour, tannin and acidity.

Also very dark, with a black coffee-coloured rim. There is coffee on the nose too, with a seductive mocha note and a weight of fudge, black plum and deep, ripe, chocolaty fruit. A totally sumptuous first impression. Spices and clove emerge, with dark Demerara notes. On the palate this is just beautiful: fabulous weight and balsamic thickness, with sweet, full fruit and mouth coating tannins and dry fruit extract. Yet there is such finesse, with silky texture, elegant acidity and the tannins staying purposeful. An absolutely outstanding wine drinking perfectly now, and one of my great Bordeaux experiences.

Label very damaged, almost illegible. Perfect level, in the neck. This bottle comes from a beautiful humid cellar. The nose takes a while to open but after 1 hour, it expresses its full palette of black fruits, sweet spices, cedar. But this is nothing compared to the palate which borders on perfection in terms of smoothness, amplitude, opulence and length. What a delight. Cheers!

Fairly dark red color evolving towards brown. Very beautiful refined, subtle, complex, delicate bouquet where the red fruit is still present. And this great smoothness continues on the palate where this wine is essentially a caress. Very velvety, still full-bodied, very aromatic, very fruity, it melts on the finish and leaves a great perfumed persistence. It goes down like milk! A beautiful emotion. The power is less than in 2005 but the emotion is still there.

Medium garnet-brick colored, the 1985 Cheval Blanc sashays out of the glass with provocative notes of sandalwood, cinnamon stick, cardamom, dried lavender and wilted roses over a core of new leather, cigar box, prunes, raisin cake and dusty soil. Medium-bodied, soft and silken textured, it has tons of mature, melt-in-your-mouth flavors and a very long exotic spice-laced finish.

Truffle, tobacco, plum, flowers, cherry, earth and spice scents opened to a plush, opulent, sensuous, medium/full bodied, lush, sexy, Cheval Blanc that is drinking beautifully today.

Beginning to show maturity. Spice and cedar aromas give way to a silky texture and flavors of tobacco and roasted fruits.

Served blind at the end of a run of Pomerols and quite at home in this sequence but denser, more savoury, a little gamey and still so alive! Great concentration.

Château Cheval Blanc

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.
