"The 1990 Cheval Blanc is a vintage that once upon a time I drank regularly,

although I had not seen it since March 2016. Poured against the 1990

Lafite-Rothschild, this is the clear winner. Still youthful in color with

modest bricking. The bouquet explodes from the glass with kirsch,

mulberry, antique furniture and black truffle scents. With aeration it

becomes more savory, the Cabernet Franc wanting to see more of the

olfactory action. The palate is medium-bodied and comes equipped with a

stunning velvety texture. This Saint-Émilion feels spherical, conveying a

sense of controlled decadence but avoiding any ostentation. This is as

good a bottle as I have encountered over the years. Brilliant. Tasted at

Noble Rot's “Xmas” dinner.
