Last night with dinner, I shared a bottle of wine that a good friend brought. It was a 1986 St.-Emilion from Chateau Cheval-Blanc. It was fabulous! Velvety smooth, a bit smokey, with great berry flavors. Here is what “Wine Spectator” has to say about it….
Score: 98
Country: France
Region: Bordeaux
Good concentration of plum, currant and berry aromas. It crams all those characteristics into a suprisingly lithe and elegant structure. This may age past our lifetimes. Best after 1999.
