Château Cheval Blanc 1988

St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)

Good levels, 2. bn, labels in good condition

Cabernet Franc 49%, Merlot 47%, Cabernet Sauvignon 4%.  38 hl/hectare made.  Vintage took place from 1-10 October. This was the first year the second wine, Petit Cheval, was made.  In 2025, a beautiful, spicy nose, drawing one in immediately.  Then chocolate and leather saddle notes, so very CB.  This has beautiful structure and richness, utterly satisfying in every way.  And at only 12.5% alcohol!  Brilliant winemaking and comprehension of the vintage have combined to make a wonderful wine. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

在10月1日至10月10日間採收，產量為每公頃3,800 升。同年白馬堡亦創製了副牌酒Petit Cheval。令人著迷的馥郁辛香。濃烈的丁香味。香味濃郁泛溢。帶胡椒及李子味道。那俄羅斯皮革的味道正正是白馬堡佳釀之特色。陳年二十二載的佳釀，芳華正盛，盈盈散發著美感。2011年品嚐，酒香撲鼻，標準瓶裝比1.5瓶裝稍優。幾乎有布艮第的感覺。依然有俄羅斯皮革的味道。咖啡豆和煙燻木的味道。豐滿、層次繽紛，質感渾圓厚實，甜美濃郁。美味悠長的黑肉水果味。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師 M.W.）
