1999 Chateau Cheval Blanc 750ml

Critic tasting note: (1999 vintage) "The color is a magnificent and the aroma is one of the most sensual on the planet, immediately seductive with its notes of spice and medicinal herbs with a suffused balsamic sensation. The palate is voluptuously caressed by soft tannins and an exemplary freshness. The length is eternal." - Doctorwine

Vineyard
Cheval Blanc’s vineyards sit on a rare mosaic of gravel, clay, and sand — a terroir that gives Cabernet Franc exceptional aromatic lift and structural precision, while Merlot contributes depth and velvety richness. Old vines and selective harvesting ensure purity and complexity in every component of the grand vin.

Tasting Notes
The 1999 Château Cheval Blanc opens with an extraordinary bouquet of blackberry, redcurrant, plum, violets, mint, cedar, and exotic spice. The palate is medium-full bodied, silky, and deeply layered, offering ripe black and red fruit wrapped in ultra-fine tannins. Notes of cocoa, graphite, herbs, and floral perfume unfold with air. The finish is long, seamless, and exquisitely balanced — a wine of precision, purity, and quiet power. Still youthful and evolving beautifully.
