Very light bricking around a clear red core, this wine displays a huge intoxicating nose of perfumed flowers, spice, along with chocolate and plum notes. Still quite young and vibrant, with excellent structure and depth and a long, excellent finish. 96 points.

Nice notes Eric. We tasted this a month ago down here, and it was great. Here are TJ's notes:

'90 Cheval Blanc

I see you've got a great lineup of old Bordeaux -what tasting were you at?

Darn it, forgot to do a search on this one before starting a thread. Maybe the Vinocellar gods can combine the two?

This was last night at the Bonhams & Butterfields pre-auction tasting in San Francisco - more notes still to come.
