2005 Cheval Blanc – 96 Points Parker
The dense ruby/purple-hued 2005 Cheval Blanc’s ethereal bouquet of menthol, coffee, wet stones, black cherries, blackberries, and hints of graphite and spice soars from the glass. An equal part blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, it is medium to full-bodied with a gorgeous texture in addition to high tannins that glide over the palate with no angularity or astringency.
Anticipated maturity: 2017-2035.

2003 Cheval Blanc – 92 Points Parker
The palate is rich and opulent with very ripe tannins, leading towards a meaty, savoury finish that just lacks a little grip but has a silky texture.

2000 Cheval Blanc – 99 Points Parker
A broad wine with compelling purity, a layered texture, and sweet tannin, with hints of coffee and earth in the background, this is by far the best Cheval Blanc since 1990 and before 2009. It is a legend in the making and can actually be drunk now, as the tannins have nearly melted away. This is a beauty with incredibly complex aromatics. Drink it over the next 25-30 years.

1996 Cheval Blanc – 90 Points Parker
The elegant, moderately weighted 1996 Cheval Blanc reveals a deep garnet/plum, evolved color. Quintessentially elegant, with a complex nose of black fruits, coconut, smoke, and pain grille, this medium-bodied wine exhibits sweet fruit on the attack, substantial complexity, and a lush, velvety-textured finish.

1990 Cheval Blanc – 98+ Points Parker
The gorgeously expressive aromatics are followed by a full-bodied wine revealing abundant glycerin as well as elevated alcohol, but it is not hot, and nothing is out of place. Expansive, rich, and revealing the nuances and complexity that come from bottle age, it is at its peak of maturity where it should remain for another 10-15 years.

1986 Cheval Blanc – 92 Points Parker
The 1986 still has a youthful dark ruby saturated colour with no amber at the edge. The wine possesses a developing bouquet that offers up weedy tobacco, juxtaposed with sweet black berry, raspberry, and cherry fruit. The new oak that was so obvious in the wine's youth has moved to the background, offering more of a cedary character than raw wood. Medium to full-bodied, and moderately tannic, this is a delineated Cheval Blanc with more of a Medoc personality than typical St.-Emilion opulence.

1983 Cheval Blanc – 95 Points Parker
The wine offers lusty, rich, unctuous fruit presented in a medium to full-bodied, low acid, concentrated, rather hedonistic style. There are no hard edges to be found, but there is plenty of tannin in the lush finish. Gorgeous for drinking now, this is a great Cheval Blanc that should continue to drink well, and possibly improve for another 20 years.

1982 Cheval Blanc – 92 Points Parker
There is plenty of amber at the edge, and this medium to full-bodied wine shows notes of menthol, cedar, spice box, plums, and black cherries.

1975 Cheval Blanc – 90 Points Parker
It reveals some of the kinky, exotic Cheval Blanc complexity, with chocolate, mint, cedar, and sweet fruit filling the moderately intense bouquet. Although the colour displays considerable amber at the edge, it has a deep ruby/garnet center, as well as plenty of sweet, ripe fruit with noticeable glycerin and extract. It is a rich, firmly-styled Cheval Blanc that juxtaposes power and tough tannin with plenty of sweet jammy fruit.

1964 Cheval Blanc – 95 Points Parker
The 1964 is a wonderfully rich, thick, powerful, and concentrated wine that is the most authoritative Cheval Blanc produced since the monumental wines made by this chateau in 1947, 1948, and 1949. Opaque dark ruby, with only some amber, and a powerful, yet restrained bouquet of roasted ripe fruit, cedar, herbs, and gravelly, mineral scents, the wine remains amazingly young and tannic, with layer upon layer of ripe fruit.

1961 Cheval Blanc – 93 Points Parker
Opaque dark ruby/garnet with a rust-colored edge, this wine has a big, full-blown bouquet of burnt tobacco, and earthy, gravelly scents. On the palate, it is sweet, ripe, full bodied, extremely soft and supple, and clearly at its apogee.

1959 Cheval Blanc - 92 Points Parker
The 1959 is a denser more structured wine than the 1961, although I am  not sure it will ever hit the heights that the 1961 has already achieved. However it certainly has the stuffing and nmuscle to outlive the 1961

1953 Cheval Blanc – 95 Points Parker
…still the most fragrant, and from an aromatic perspective, the most compelling Cheval Blanc I have ever tasted.

1950 Cheval Blanc
No note available

1949 Cheval Blanc – 96 Points Parker
It is an unbelievably rich, sweet, expansive, full-bodied style of Cheval Blanc with enormous quantities of glycerin, fruit, alcohol, and extract. Although it has been drinkable for decades, it continues to offer that exotic, Asian spice, cedar, and huge, sweet fruit-scented nose. Unctuously-textured, thick, rich, vibrant, pure, and compelling…

1947 Cheval Blanc – 100 Points Parker
The only recent Bordeaux vintage that comes even remotely close to the richness, texture, and viscosity of so many of these right bank 1947s is 1982. What can I say about this mammoth wine that is more like port than dry red table wine? The 1947 Cheval Blanc exhibits such a thick texture it could double as motor oil. The huge nose of fruitcake, chocolate, leather, coffee, and Asian spices is mind-boggling. The unctuous texture and richness of sweet fruit are amazing.

1929 Cheval Blanc - 92 Points Wine Spectator
Harmonious and balanced . This ethereal, complex winer shows lovely sweet, spicy and cedar aromas and flavours, with dried fruit and mushroom notes, still lively and long on the finish.

1921 Cheval Blanc – 98 Points Parker
It offered an opaque colour with considerable amber at the edge, followed by remarkably fresh, sweet, jammy aromas of black fruits, Asian spices, coffee, herbs, and chocolate. Thick, unctuously-textured, with oodles of fruit, this huge, massive, full-bodied wine must have possessed 14% alcohol. It could easily have been mistaken for the 1947 or 1949.
