Château Cheval-Blanc--Vintage 1953
Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé (A)
Level: low/mid shoulder; slightly depressed cork, lightly corroded capsule, bin soiled label
"In the fifties, the greatest vintage is the 1953. I am sure this wine has been fully mature for at least 15-20 years. Nevertheless, it has held its magic for that considerable period, and is still the most fragrant, and from an aromatic perspective, the most compelling Cheval Blanc I have ever tasted. Perhaps the 1982 will turn out to be this profoundly perfumed. It is incredibly seductive, and so soft and silky." Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition (1998)
