Château Cheval-Blanc 1970
Saint-Émilion, 1er grand cru classé (A)
Repacked from original wooden case. Some slightly corroded capsules. Bin-soiled labels, damp-affected. Levels: ten top-shoulder or better, two upper-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…most recently, soft, rich, delicious aftertaste. ***** (April 2002) M.B.
