Cheval Blanc 1982

Merlot|Cabernet Franc. This wine has proven to be one of Bordeaux's modern-day legends. Absolutely spectacular for its first 7-8 years after bottling, the wine has gradually begun to reveal more delineation, structure, and tannin... It exhibits a thick, opaque garnet color with light amber at the edge. The nose, which was ostentatious earlier, shows significant amounts of roasted fruit, coffee, melted chocolate, and decadently rich, sweet black fruits. This is an exotic, full-bodied, and mature.
