Château Cheval Blanc 1982 (4 BT)

Château Cheval Blanc 1982

St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)

u. 3bn, slightly scuffed labels, 1 slightly damp stained, 1 partially torn at top edge, 2 main labels covered by importer's slips at bottom edges, capsules 2 slightly scuffed, 2 scuffed, oxidized and corroded, from different importers

54.3 hl/hectare made and only 12.8% alcohol - these facts still amaze. In 2023, that rich, exciting saddle-leather nose that is inimitable, plus black cherry liqueur and surging crushed blueberries. And then an element of dark mystery - this is explosive! Black liquorice on the palate, with immense sweetness. The vigour is show-stopping, with infinite volume and opulence, plus a texture like a great tapestry, intricate and densely woven. A glorious black cherries mega kick at the end - where will this go? Clearly, it will be after me! There is a touch of the 1947 to this, but with more harmony. Is this the greatest ever Cheval Blanc, perhaps with the 1921...... Serena Sutcliffe, MW

每公頃出產5430公升，酒精濃度僅12.8度——實在令人難以置信。2023年，酒香豐富，有馬鞍皮革的味道，加上黑櫻桃利口酒和藍莓漿的味道，實在是獨一無二。酒品帶有震撼的黑暗迷人元素，別具爆發力！口感有黑色利口酒，同時甜度極高。酒體的活力非常吸引，厚實而豐富，加上如織錦般錯綜複雜的質感，別具特色。最後，黑色櫻桃送上華麗謝幕——之後何去何從？當然是隨我齒頰之間而去。紅酒似有1947年的特色，但更為和諧。是白馬堡最出色的作品嗎？或許可以媲美1921年的作品佳釀……施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）
