Château Cheval-Blanc--Vintage 1947
Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé (A)
Level: upper shoulder; bin soiled label, slip label "Dourthe Frères." Slightly corroded capsule
"it is not only the most impressive, famous (and expensive) '47 but is unquestionably one of the greatest wines of all timeIt was at its best at the Latner dinner: lovely bouquet; losing its positive sweetness, though very rich and powerful (14 alcohol) with a slightly tarry taste. Still impressive. Most recently, faultless yet- dare I say it - unexciting. At Spencer House, London, May 2000 *****" MB, Vintage Wine
