99 Points

Saturday, October 31, 2020 - One of the finest wine experiences I’ve ever had.

Decanted for about 3 hours before consumption.

Garnet red body with a slight brownish hue.

The nose was fantastic and expressive. Old bdx in it’s most classic form. Leather, cedar wood, cigar box, pencil led and ground coffee.

On the palate it was extremely fresh. Great acidity, lots of dark fruit, leather, fall leaves. Just an enormous amount of depth. And the balance was just fantastic. Perfection – or sure as hell close to it.

We had it head to head with the infamous Mouton 1982 and Cheval 1990 took the win on every parametre.
