Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Cheval Blanc 1er Grand Cru Classe A 2000

100
/100

En næsten ligelig blanding af Merlot og Cabernet Franc gør 2000 Cheval til et vidunder af silkeblød finesse og dyb kraft. Så legende og alligevel med uendelig kraft nedefra. Teksturen i Cheval føles som ren kashmir, uden nogen hårdhed, bare delikat og fin. Og alligevel skubber vinen sig over ganen med stadig nye bølger af stærkt koncentreret frugt, vanvid. Blåbær, morbær, slåen, lakrids, laurbær, let ristede kaffebønner og det fineste hjertekirsebær. I sin letfodede, finesserige stil, som forbløffende nok ikke er tung på trods af den enorme koncentration, kunne dette næsten være en Loire-vin. Men denne overvældende frugtrigdom og fejlfri fenoliske modenhed findes kun i Bordelais. Den dybe frugt overgår stadig tanninerne med lethed. En ældgammel vin, som kun lige er begyndt at åbne sig. Men selv nu er dette en imponerende oplevelse fra det delikate angreb til den kraftfulde finish. 100/100

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

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+. 100/100

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

A wine of exquisite aromatic depth and grace, the 2000 Cheval Blanc is fully captivating. All the elements fall into place in an effortless, gracious wine. It’s frankly hard to move past the 2000 Cheval, because at this point, I want nothing to compete with it. 100/100

The Wine Palate om: Chateau Cheval Blanc 1er Grand Cru Classe A

Expressive, Fragrant, Mature Fruit, Chinese Five Spice, Violets, Licorice, Medium bodied, Refreshing Acidity, Subtle Oak, Silky Texture, High Tannin, Mature. A blend of 53% Merlot and 47% Cabernet Franc, the 2000 Cheval Blanc has a medium garnet-brick color. It explodes with an amazingly complex array of fragrant earth and exotic spice scents, leading to a core of raspberry preserves, cherry cola, dried mulberries, and violets, plus hints of licorice, iron ore, and unsmoked cigars. The palate is gracefully styled and medium-bodied with layer upon layer of fruit, earth, and perfumed spice flavors, framed by silky tannins and beautiful tension, finishing long and minerally. Phenomenal!
