EXCELLENT BORDEAUX, INCLUDING A RARE CASE OF THE RENOWNED CHEVAL-BLANC 1964
Lying in Twickenham, Middlesex (EHD)
Château Cheval-Blanc--Vintage 1964
Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé (A). Château-bottled
Two slightly corroded capsules. Good labels. U.S. slip labels. Levels: two top, six upper and four mid/upper-shoulder
Tasting note: 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. This is a heavyweight, old-style Cheval Blanc that should be pure nectar for at least another 10-15 years. It continues to evolve at a snail's pace. Anticipated maturity: now-2010. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Oct 1994
