Wine Advocate # 140 (4/30/2002) : 93 Maturity: 2006-2022
Stylistically, this wine is probably cut in the same mold as vintages such as 1985, 1966, and 1962. The color is a dense ruby with purple nuances. Once past the blockbuster bouquet of menthol, leather, black fruits, licorice, and mocha, the wine reveals medium body, extraordinary elegance, purity, and sweet, harmonious flavors with no hard edges. A seamless beauty of finesse, charm, and concentration, 1999 has produced an exciting Cheval Blanc to drink relatively young. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2022.
Wine Spectator (3/31/2002) : 89
Wonderfully aromatic, with chocolate, berry and plum character. Medium-bodied, with firm yet fine tannins and a tight finish. A fine and elegant Cheval-Blanc. Drink now through 2004.
Decanter Rating:
Arrestingly good: dark black-purple, with fresh, creamy-sweet scents, rippling tannins and plum-cassis flavours which seem perfumed with exotic woods, angelica and even citrus. Head-turning!
