Château Cheval-Blanc--Vintage 1949
Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé (A)
Slightly corroded capsules. Five bin-soiled labels, one badly bin-soiled and one plastic wrapped. Levels two top-shoulder and four upper-shoulder. In carton
Vintage Report 1949 *****
The third of the great trio of port-war vintages. Wines of greatly style, avoiding some of the constraints and excesses of the concentrated' 45s and the ripe and more opulent '47s. An almost unprecedented heatwave, 43? C recorded in the Médoc on the 11 July. Finally, a late harvest in the fine weather. M.B.
