Reviews & Scores
"A 1988 Cheval Blanc had a sexy nose, also in a good spot. Pierre Lurton commented how 1988 was a very classic vintage, deep and dark in color, and that 2004 was like 1988 with more ripeness, which caused Bipin to mutter something about Pavie that I won t repeat! Wolf appreciated its great nose and found the 88 to be a wine for Cheval lovers, for the thinking drinker. He went on to say nothing (was) overstated and admired its beautiful harmony. The wine was open and singing, Pierre picking up on some minty qualities. The nose did have gorgeous red fruits, nuts, a kiss of vanilla, caramel and a touch of earth. The palate had excellent richness, great balance and a long finish. This was an excellent Cheval all the way. As the wine developed, its bready aromas became divine, and its nuttiness got sexier. Flavors of chocolate, meat and earth expanded on its rich palate, which was a bit rusty in a good way. Tasty and with definition, the 1988 Cheval was a real surprise to me, and its vigor held as tertiary aromas of olive, wintergreen and almost dill joined the party."
