Château Cheval-Blanc--Vintage 1971
Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé (A)
Slightly stained labels. Lot 192: nine top-shoulder or better and two just below top. Lot 193: Levels top-shoulder or better
Tasting note: For me, this is the star wine of the vintage, from a fragrant cask sample and effortless trajectory through the 1980's. 'Lovely flavour and texture', perfect balance, seemingly effortless development...Every note vertually identical: sweet, fragrant, elegant, stylish, lovely. Most recently, my top wine at a Cheval Blanc dinner (including '47, '59, '61, '64 and '70) for the Russian National Orchestra. April 2002. ***** M.B
