CHATEAU CHEVAL BLANC 1998 (750ml) Stock: 64579 This amazing wine will most certainly turn out as great as the 1982 and 1990. You can bet on it! "I seriously underestimated this wine, as I have often tended to do with Cheval Blanc. A potentially immortal example that has gained significant weight since it has been bottled, this blend of 55% Cabernet Franc and 45% Merlot has a saturated purple color and a glorious nose of Menthol, plums, mulberries, new saddle leather, cocoa, and vanilla. Remarkably fuller bodied than I ever remember it young, with an amazingly seamless texture and tremendous concentration and extract, this full bodied yet gorgeously pure and elegant wine is impeccably balanced and certainly one of the all-time great Cheval Blancs. If it continues to improve as much as it has over the last three years since bottling, this wine will certainly rival the 2000, 1990 and 1982." 96+ points R. Parker n/a
