Château Cheval Blanc 1989

St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)

Levels bn or better, labels good appearance, 1 label slightly wrinkled

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.）
