BBQ on the nose. Great balance of tannin and fruit. Smoke, blackberry, plum and tobacco. Really tasty and pairs quite well with meat. — 8 years ago

Perhaps the most gorgeous $10.00 wine we've ever had. Classic Cabernet perfumed nose, structure, smokey leather, fruit, soft tannins, only the weak finish betrays its provenance. Buy on sight, great cellar defender. — 9 years ago

Adventures in pulling corks: provenance check. A rare opportunity to try a very top shoulder from '62. A show stopper of a wine! Amazing condition. Excellent storage is the reason. Level was very top shoulder, excellent for age. — 12 years ago

Just another solid Provenance that compliments an Italian meal perfectly with Bordeaux varietals and fruit. — 8 years ago

I love Cheval Blanc- belongs in the classification of a first growth french wine for sure. The '89 is drinking superbly and possesses a beautiful bouquet of roses/fragrant flowers, and is so powerful yet subtle on the pallet with dark berries, ripe cherries, soft tannins yet powrrful and forward fruit. This wine is underrated and under priced. Seek to acquire from good provenance/reliable sources that have properly stored the wine and you will not be sorry. — 9 years ago

Double Magnum with family in Zermatt. Very drinkable wine with lots of fruit but not too forward. Very smooth at this point in it's life. Still lots of body and just dry enough to prove it's varietal provenance. Very drinkable and highly recommended. — 10 years ago
