Lot #89. Cheval Blanc 1995

Description: Consists of 12 Bottles, 0.75L
Packaging: OWC.
Score: 95 NM.
"Tasted at Cheval Blanc dinner at The Ledbury. This is an outrageously decadent Cheval Blanc. The nose is layer upon layer of ebullient, red-berried fruit: raspberries, crushed strawberries, lavish creamy new oak and a touch of vanilla pod. I would describe it as “slutty” in the hands of a lesser estate. The palate is full-bodied with plush red-berried fruit, at the moment firmly under the governance of the Merlot with a sexy, lascivious finish. The word that comes to mind is: orgiastic. I wonder if it will obtain the breeding of the ’85? Tasted November 2010." Neal Martin, Wine Journal, Sep 2011
Provenance: The Waverly Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $4,250
