Château Cheval-Blanc--Vintage 1952
Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé (A)
Badly bin-soiled labels. Levels: one mid/upper, four mid, three low-shoulder
Tasting note: definitely one of the best '52s, almost from start to finish - except that it is nowhere near finished. Most recently: very deep, mature-rimmed; very good classic Cheval Blanc nose and taste, very sweet, good body, nice weight (12.6 alcohol) and tannic grip. At best **** M.B.
