Chateau Cheval Blanc 1985

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (93)

Fully mature, but capable of lasting another 10-15 years, this flamboyantly scented wine (jammy black fruits, licorice, Asian spices, herbs, grilled meats) is a lusciously rich, opulent, medium to full-bodied, fat and juicy style of Cheval Blanc that seems to get better and better every time I taste it. Like so many Cheval Blancs, it has the uncanny ability to put on weight in the bottle.

Winespectator (92)

Beginning to show maturity. Spice and cedar aromas give way to a silky texture and flavors of tobacco and roasted fruits.
