Château Cheval-Blanc--Vintage 2000
1 dozen bottles per lot
Château Cheval-Blanc--Vintage 2000 Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé (A) In original wooden case "This closed, backward blend of 53 Merlot and 47 Cabernet Franc boasts a saturated purple color along with a reticent but striking bouquet of blackberries, blueberries, truffles, and mocha. In spite of its tightness, aeration reveals scents of licorice, menthol, and saddle leather. Opulent and full-bodied, with low acidity, sweet tannin, and a 60-second finish, it is unquestionably as profound as the 1990 and 1982. I still believe the 2000 has the potential to be the most compelling Cheval Blanc since the mythical 1947 and 1949, but patience is required. It should merit a three digit score in 7-10 years, but it is closed at present. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2030+." Robert Parker Wine Advocate #146 (Apr 2003) 1 dozen bottles per lot
