Château Cheval-Blanc--Vintage 1970
Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé (A). Château-bottled
Bin-soiled and damaged labels. Levels: four base of neck and two very top-shoulder
Tasting note: More than first rate. I recall it coming top in a blind tasting of '70s organised by a Danish wine journal in Bordeaux. I did manage to taste this in cask, April 1972. It clearly had a good future. 'Elegance' and perfect balance are dotted through my notes. Not a blockbuster. Most of my notes were made in the 1980s, only two recently. Showing well, perfectly evolved at a pre-sale tasting in New York (1997), and later the same year at Wolf's tasting in Austria: a lovely mellow colour; bouquet sweet, 'singed', fragrant, classic, great depth; medium sweetness and body. A good ripe flavour. Most recently, soft, rich, delicious aftertaste, Very good but 'past its perfect best'. Last tasted at the Russian National Orchestra dinner, Spencer House, London, April 2002 *****. Michael Broadbent, Vintage Wine
