Lot #72. Cheval Blanc 1990

Description: Consists of 4 Magnums, 1.5L
Score: 100 WA.
"This wine has overtaken its closest rival, the 1982. Dense ruby purple with only a bit of lightening at the edge, the explosive nose of black fruits and cassis intermixed with coffee, menthol, and leather is followed by an opulent, splendidly concentrated wine that is sheer nectar. With no hard edges, gorgeously integrated glycerin, tannin, acidity, and alcohol are all present in this seamless classic. The wine has been gorgeous since youth, but is now revealing more aromatic and flavor nuances into the game. This is spectacular stuff!" Bordeaux Book, 4th Edition, Jan 2003
Provenance: The Renard Cellar
Estimate: $8,500
