Details
Château Cheval-Blanc--Vintage 1964
Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé (A)
Slightly corroded capsules. Lot 383; levels: Three top-shoulder, seven just below top shoulder and two upper-shoulder. Lot 384: levels upper-shoulder
Offered in cartons
Tasting Note: One of the loveliest of all 64's. Fine and fruity cask sample and steady, invariably pleasant development, "full, soft, velvety, stylish and rounded" in 1973. Fully evolved, glorious in the mid- to late 1980's. In 2000, showing its age though attractively evolved; fairly sweet but now lean and drying out. Sweet, rich, good fruit, still some tannin and a bit of a bite. At best now **** M.B.
