Jul 11th, 2021Past peak. Some interesting earthy notes and touches of fruit. The structure was barley intact and everything was lost after 5 minutes in the glass. #chevalblanc #sainttemilion #bordeaux

'75 right bank ftw. Youthful, fresh, complex. No complaints.

Jul 10th, 2015I opened this wine on 3/17/2013 for my new born son's homecoming dinner. this 37 years + wine is incredibly structure. The color of course is brownish but surprisingly clear with very little sentiment. The nose is spicy and oaky. On the tongue, a youthful peppery spicy follow by a caramel and almond note. 1/2 an hour later, the spice soften up, the almond note and a hint of slight burn sugar is in perfect balance. It could probably hold up for a few more year but it is a great time to open it.
