Château Cheval Blanc 2005 (3 MAG)

Château Cheval Blanc 2005 

St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)

Excellent levels and appearance; Excellents niveaux et apparence

55% Cabernet Franc, 45% Merlot. Very spicy nose with a real coffee taste. Very classic in structure, without excessive extraction which is not their style. They prefer to bring out the freshness to balance the richness. Silky, harmonious and so 'clean'. This could be their best wine since 1998, although the jury is out and it would be foolish to forget the 2000. In 2015, so fresh, with so much fruity attack. Meaty and so lively. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

A wonderful collection of Bordeaux from a pristine modern cellar, comprising all the leading names and the best vintages produced between 2000 and 2010. All the wines were purchased directly from one of the most reputable and established Bordeaux Négociants. This cellar has an incredible selection of bottles, magnums and double magnums from two of the most iconic vintages produced in the past 20 years with an impressive quantity of First Growths. Highlights includes the now legendary 2000 and 2005 vintages with all the First Growths in original wooden cases together with rarities such as Le Pin 2005 in magnum. This is evidently the cellar of a wine lover with true passion and extremely discerning tastes and is a collection that is sure to have global appeal.
