Description
Chateau Cheval Blanc 1998St. Emilion
Bottle (3)
The La Cave Collection. Wines from a Texas Collector, all pristinely stored since release in a commercial wine storage facility
"The 1998 Cheval Blanc has been a lauded wine ever since release. I have often, quite controversially, felt that it never quite matched its startling performances in its first ten years, though it remains an excellent wine. Now at 20-years old it offers opulent, high-toned scents of maraschino cherry, iodine, crème de cassis, dried blood and a subtle, almost Provençal herb-like scent courtesy of the Cabernet Franc. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grip, showy compared to other vintages of Cheval Blanc with sappy red fruit and a fine structure that lends this 1998 focus. Perhaps this bottle did not quite deliver the intensity on the finish that I was expecting, 'jogging' instead of 'sprinting' over the finish line. That said, it is a very impressive wine, even if personally I would not put it amongst the very best wines that Pierre Lurton has overseen. Tasted at Cheval Blanc." (95 pts. Neal Martin, Vinous, April 2018)
"The 1998 Cheval Blanc, a blend of 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc, is deep garnet-brick in color and absolutely explodes with scents of exotic spices, incense, dried roses, cigar box and licorice, with a core of crème de cassis and dried cherries plus touches of black tea and dusty earth. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the mouth with rich, plushly textured fruit and then POW—it hits the mid-palate with an explosion of Chinese five spice and floral perfume sparks, leading to an epically long finish. This cannot fail to impress and can easily cellar for another 30 years or more." (100 pts. Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate, May 2018)
