Château Cheval Blanc

St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 1983

9.6

Lovely soft-edged blue fruit. Blackberry and an iron roundness. All kinds of savory stuff in the middle, but really classy, with beautiful plush mouthfeel. A soft and salty character and lovely poised length. Spectacular — 7 years ago

Beautiful. Green herbs and blackberry bramble give way to tight stony blackberry and dried flowers. — 10 years ago

Needed decanting as it was hard as nails when first opened. Great balance of fruit and acidity with tannins quite pronounced. Beautiful with assorted pastas at Collichio & Sons — 10 years ago

Tenuta dell'Ornellaia

Bolgheri Red Bordeaux Blend 2007

9.5

07' Ornellaia Bolgheri ( Bordeaux blend). Predominately Cabernet. I'm also guessing it's mostly all new oak. Slightly tannic & a little heavy on the oak. That absolutely subsides with a decent decanting . Must decant, so the fruit can move forward in the wine. Layers of elegant & beautiful black fruit, with hints of tobacco & dark chocolate. It just lays on the back of your palate for 30+ seconds. A little more patience/time?? I would love to try this again in 3-5 years. Recommend highly!

I've got to get some more of the great vintages of this! My better half..."We need to get some of this" 😉 — 9 years ago

@Jim Trobaugh That's going to be a treat. I've got to also get some. Looking at getting the 25th anniversary "BLACK" label also. I'm also looking at getting the 06' 07' again, 13'. Cheers!
