2 June 2010: A belated birthday celebration for our friend Paul, who just turned 60! Perfect occasion for us to present to Paul, a vivacious 60-year-old, a bottle of Cheval Blanc from his birth year of 1950, and to be able to enjoy it with him and Fanny. The wine: above the shoulder level, medium-deep ruby core, with silky tannins, lively acidity, velvety textured light body, and an elegant presentation. Intense and complex nose of smoky character, leather, violet, mocha and sweet spices. A little short on the length, with an almost caramel-like sweet finish. A gracefully aged wine, just past its peak. 16.5/20.
Congratulations, Paul! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to share this special bottle with a very good friend!
