Château Cheval-Blanc--Vintage 1949
Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé (A)
Lot 740 levels: base of neck; lightly bin soiled labels, lightly corroded capsules; Lot 741 levels: one base of neck and one very top shoulder; one cut capsule, Château and vintage branded cork, one lightly bin soiled label, one torn label, one lightly corroded capsule; Lot 742 levels: three top, two upper top, one upper-shoulder; corroded capsules, damp stained lables
"Tasted 5 times with consistent notes. Although the extraordinary 1949 does not have the port-like unctuosity and heaviness of the 1947, it is an enormously rich, concentrated wine. It is better-balanced than the heavyweight 1947, yet as complex and extraordinary, both from an aromatic and flavor perspective. The wine exhibits a phenomenally fragrant bouquet of overripe red and black fruits, cedar, Asian spices, and minerals. Decadently rich and jammy, it has an amazing plum/garnet color with very little amber or rust at the edge. It may out-live the heavier, thicker, more exotic 1947." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 95 Oct 1994
