“RP100 -
1982 Chateau Cheval Blanc Bordeaux Magnum - 99 pts! Revealing considerable amber in its dark plum/garnet color this intensely fragrant 1982 is somewhat of a paradox in that the front end suggests full maturity but the mid-palate finish and overall texture denote a closed wine. A gorgeously sweet entry displays flavors of caramel roasted coffee jammy red and black fruits coconut and smoke. It is fat and full-bodied with considerable tannin structure and muscle in the finish. Flamboyantly rich and precocious early in life it is going through an awkward stage where the tannin is present but it is also sexy juicy and formidably-structured. When the 1982 Cheval Blanc's component parts become totally in sync it will be capable of meriting a three-digit rating. RP”
