Lot 26 Details
CHÂTEAU CHEVAL BLANC 2010 (OC)

Saint-Émilion. Premier Grand Cru Classé

Deep garnet in color and made of 54% Cabernet Franc and 46% Merlot, the nose of the 20010 Cheval Blanc is a bit subdued to begin, measuredly opening out to reveal achingly provocative notions of molten chocolate, preserved Morello cherries, baked blackberries, boysenberries and blueberry compote with wafts of underbrush, cigar box, cumin seed and sandalwood. Full-bodied, the palate is a full-on atomic bomb waiting to go off, with very tightly coiled, slowly maturing black fruits eking out glimpses of a vast array of nuances. Still very youthful, it finishes with an incredibly persistent, jaw-dropping display of earth and mineral fireworks. I’d leave this one for another 5 years and drink it over the next 50. March 2020 Drink: 2025-2075 WA 100
