A bottle of 2012 Château Cheval Blanc Saint-Emilion 1er Grand Cru Classé.
'The 2012 Cheval Blanc boasts stunning power and a vertical, imposing sense of structure that is quite rare in this vintage. Dark and almost brooding in style, the Cheval is a rare 2012 that absolutely demands cellaring. Smoke, tobacco, incense and dark spices open up with time, but the 2012 is a reticent, tannic wine that is only showing the barest hints of its ultimate potential. This is a magnificent showing and one of the clear highlights of the year. Drink 2020-2042. 97/100' Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, 2016
