Château Cheval Blanc Saint Emilion 1er Grand Cru
Verkostnotiz
Wine Advocate:
The 2018 Cheval Blanc is a blend of 54% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, with a 3.75 pH and 14.5% alcohol. Deep garnet-purple colored, it needs considerable swirling and air to releases fragrant notes of stewed plums, juicy black cherries and ripe blackberries with underlying suggestions of damp soil, black truffles, rose oil and cardamom with wafts of underbrush and iron ore. The medium to full-bodied palate is densely packed with rich black fruits and loads of earthy accents, framed by super firm, grainy tannins and seamless freshness to balance, finishing with amazing length and a beautiful array of floral and mineral sparks. Thirty-three plots contributed to this wine, out of the forty-three in production. Of the rest, five went into Petit Cheval and five into bulk. It will need a good 6-7 years at least to really start to strut its stuff and should cellar for a further 30 years or more. Wine Spectator:
This has the vintage's profile, with a sleek and slightly austere frame holding a core of cassis, bitter cherry and raspberry coulis notes tightly together while flashes of bay, dried anise and savory add range and detail. Has a late tug of warm earth along with a very perfumy echo through the finish. A beauty. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2024 through 2038. 10,208 cases made. James Suckling:
Love the floral character to the aromas of dark fruit, such as blueberries and black cherries. Red and black licorice, too. The full-bodied palate starts slowly and then expands with super polished, searing tannins that lead you up the palate into a place of grandeur. Lightly chewy at the end. Such great purity and presence here. Try after 2028.JG 2018: Falstaff: 100/100 Punkte
Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Feiner Nougat, unterlegt mit süßen Gewürzen, reife schwarze Beerenfrucht, reife Pflaumen, zart nach Orangenzesten. Kraftvoll, zeigt eine enorme Extraktsüße, feste, tragende, vollreife Tannine, große Komplexität und Süße, zeigt enorme Frische und Eleganz, bleibt minutenlang haften. -
