Château Cheval-Blanc--Vintage 1947
Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé (A)
Level: upper shoulder; original cork, cut capsule, cork states "Château Cheval Blanc, Fourcaud Laussac 1947," bin soiled label
"it is not only the most impressive, famous (and expensive) '47 but is unquestionably one of the greatest wines of all time... It 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
