Château Cheval BlancSaint-Émilion 1985
About this product
1er Grand Cru Classe A. 60% Cabernet Franc, 37% Merlot, 2% Malbec, 1% Cabernet Sauvignon. The 1985 was an opulent style due to the driest September on record. The heat continued on into October resulting in high sugar levels in the merlot. Not quite up to the 1982 but a bargain vintage .

A rather seductive style of Cheval Blanc that has been delicious from its youth, this wine continues to develop beautifully, and although it seems to have attained full maturity, the wine shows plenty of sweet plum, mocha, coffee, and black currant fruit intermixed with some menthol, chocolate, and cola. The wine is lush, medium to full-bodied, very soft, and ideal for drinking now and over the next 5-7 years. Last tasted, 11/02.
