Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Cheval Blanc 1er Grand Cru Classe A 2005

Sort med et rubinrødt skær, et strejf af violet. Kraftig og kraftfuld næse, kraftfuld, god harmoni, ikke den charme, man forventer af Cheval. Ekstremt koncentreret i munden, men alligevel meget fin og afbalanceret, udstråler stor harmoni. Ganske god volumen med fin sødme, chokolade med sort og lidt rød frugt. Masser af bløde og polerede, meget fine tanniner, høj, men næppe mærkbar koncentration. Vinen viser meget race og er rig på finesse og unik delikatesse som forventet fra Cheval, den unikke karakter tenderer mere og mere mod Cabernet Franc fra år til år. En stor vin og en af årgangens stjerner. 100/100

Parker om: Chateau Cheval Blanc 1er Grand Cru Classe A

The 2005 from Cheval Blanc is a quintessentially elegant, beautiful, deep bluish/ruby-colored wine from St.-Emilion, with raspberry, blueberry, and floral notes, impressive density, great precision, freshness and purity. Full-bodied, but extremely light on its feet, I don’t mean to gush, but it is super-intense, rich and just so meticulously crafted! This is another fabulous wine and a perfect expression for this vintage. It is difficult to forget the gorgeous blueberry and raspberry fruit, full body, sweet tannin, a multi-layered texture, and purity and palate presence of this stunning wine. Drink it over the next 20 years. P.S. In 2005, this was 50% Cabernet Franc and 50% Merlot. 100/100

Galloni om: Chateau Cheval Blanc 1er Grand Cru Classe A

The 2005 Cheval Blanc is another wine that is utterly mesmerizing from the moment it is opened. Exquisite in its aromatics, the 2005 Cheval is sublime on the palate, where the interplay of Merlot and Cabernet Franc proves to be captivating. In a night of truly spellbinding wines, the Cheval makes a deep impression because of its overall finesse and nuance. Along with the Margaux and Haut-Brion, the Cheval speaks to total refinement and polish. The Cheval is of course not one of the bigger, more imposing wines of the night, but it is among the most complete, which makes it the perfect wine to close out an incredible night. When we first opened the 2005, I thought it might very well be the wine of the night. A few hours later, it was every bit as impressive. 100/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Cheval Blanc 1er Grand Cru Classe A

A magical showing, the 2005 Chateau Cheval Blanc is a powerful, deep, incredibly massive wine by this estate’s standards, yet it nevertheless never loses a sense of elegance, purity, and finesse. Bombastic notes of cassis, flowery incense, tobacco leaf, and dried soil all flow to a full-bodied red that has sweet, integrated tannins, a beautiful mid-palate, flawless balance, and a huge finish. It’s drinking shockingly well today, and my money is on it continuing to show this way for another three decades. 100/100
