Château Cheval Blanc 1989 (6 BT)

Château Cheval Blanc 1989

St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)

Levels bn or better, labels good appearance

The earliest vintage of the century at Cheval Blanc and there were days when the temperature went over 40 degrees Celsius. Close to 50% Merlot, 50% Cabernet Franc, which is unusual here. A very generous 47 hl/hectare made. In 2021, this was absolutely sensational, immensely exciting, spicy and exotic on the nose, promising everything - and then magnificently delivering on the palate! Rich and sumptuous, with flawless fruit, concentration (and with that yield!) and endless length. Every mouthful reveals a mosaic of aromatics, glossy texture and far-reaching flavours. It is poised at perfection, which is where I think it will stay. A landmark Claret of my life. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

白馬堡本世紀最早的作品之一，當時有些日子氣溫一度超過攝氏40度。近50%梅樂，50%卡本納弗朗，如此配搭非常罕見。每公頃出產4700公升，產量非常多。2021年，這絕對是感官盛宴。葡萄酒令人興奮刺激、酒香充滿異國風情--口感層疊遞增！果香無可挑剔，香味集中而綿綿不絕（而且還有如此之多的產量！）。每一口都可感受到如馬賽克般的迷曚香氣，酒體有光澤，留香深遠，完美無瑕。我認為多年後它亦能保持相同口感，是令我此生難忘的白馬堡作品。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）M.W.）
