Chateau Cheval Blanc 2010, 12 bottle Bottle conditions : 2x6 bottle owc (not in bond vat not paid) All condition and packaging abbreviations (e.g., owc, ts, lbsl, etc.) are given in their original English form. Refer to our catalog for an explanation of these abbreviations. Wine notes: "...has the tell-tale berry/floral nose with subtle hints of menthol, blueberry, raspberry and flowers in addition to some forest floor and a delicate touch of lead pencil shavings. The wine exhibits more structure and density than it did from barrel, and it was already remarkable then. The foresty/floral notes seem to linger and linger in this surprisingly full-bodied, powerful Cheval Blanc, yet it possesses a very healthy pH that should ensure enormous longevity."(100pts) Provenance: Special Swiss Cellar Selections: Our Zürich-based collector and wine specialist, known for championing sustainability and authenticity, returns with fifty-four lots that reflect both classic taste and a curious palate.
