Château Cheval-Blanc--Vintage 1964
Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé (A)
Lot 666: Slightly bin-soiled labels, three stained. Levels: three upper, six mid/upper, one mid and one mid/low-shoulder. Lot 667: Slightly bin-soiled and stained labels. Levels upper-shoulder or better
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.
