Description

'Cheval Blanc was one of the more forward and fun to drink 1975s fifteen years ago, but its evolution has slowed considerably. It reveals some of the kinky, exotic Cheval Blanc complexity, with chocolate, mint, cedar, and sweet fruit filling the moderately intense bouquet. Although the color displays considerable amber at the edge, it has a deep ruby/garnet center, as well as plenty of sweet, ripe fruit with noticeable glycerin and extract. It is a rich, firmly-styled Cheval Blanc that juxtaposes power and tough tannin with plenty of sweet jammy fruit. I admire and enjoy this fully mature wine, which is capable of lasting for 15+ more years. Drink: 1996 - 2011. 90pts'

'It is five years since I last encountered this, perhaps underrated Cheval Blanc. Served blind against the ’50 and ’64, it was actually this that exuded the most freshness and finesse, although admittedly it did not last as long in the glass. But still, the nose has superb delineation for the first hour, the Cabernet Franc less prominent than usual with sultry blackberry leaf and mulberry fruit, becoming earthier and less vigorous with time in glass. The palate is full-bodied, quite succulent with good acidity, becoming increasingly tarry in the glass with a slight bitterness on the finish. Nevertheless, it is a very good wine for the vintage and one must stand back and admire its silky smooth finish. Drink now-2018. Tasted September 2008. 90pts'
