This consignor enjoyed wine in a casual, social setting, but a remarkable experience with a particular bottle at a restaurant sparked a deeper interest. Over the past decade, he has been actively collecting, focusing on quality and provenance. Much of his collection has been carefully sourced from reputable specialty wine stores across Alberta, with a select few bottles acquired during travels abroad or through trusted auction houses. All wines have been properly stored in a temperature-controlled home cellar or wine fridges.
2010 Chateau Cheval Blanc St Emilion from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 100 points, James Suckling 100 points, Wine Enthusiast 100 points, Jeb Dunnuck 100 points. This is the tasting note for 2010 Chateau Cheval Blanc St Emilion from Robert Parker - with a score of 100 points. Deep garnet in color and made of 54% Cabernet Franc and 46% Merlot, the nose of the 2010 Cheval Blanc is a bit subdued to begin, measuredly opening out to reveal achingly provocative notions of molten chocolate, preserved Morello cherries, baked blackberries, boysenberries and blueberry compote with wafts of underbrush, cigar box, cumin seed and sandalwood. Full-bodied, the palate is a full-on atomic bomb waiting to go off, with very tightly coiled, slowly maturing black fruits eking out glimpses of a vast array of nuances. Still very youthful, it finishes with an incredibly persistent, jaw-dropping display of earth and mineral fireworks. I’d leave this one for another 5 years and drink it over the next 50..
