Chateau Cheval Blanc 1949 1ere Grand Cru Classe St Emilion
 Ref: 1647

All our vintage wines show the vintage clearly on the bottle.
Scoring 96/100 Parker points and from the outstanding 1949 vintage, Robert Parker states "I have rated the 1949 Cheval Blanc as high as 100, but more consistently in the mid to upper 90s. It is one of the great Cheval Blancs - not as port-like and syrupy as the '47, but more classically rendered. But do not take that to mean this is a wimpish wine. It is an unbelievably rich, sweet, expansive, full-bodied style of Cheval Blanc with enormous quantities of glycerin, fruit, alcohol, and extract. Although it has been drinkable for decades, it continues to offer that exotic, Asian spice, cedar, and huge, sweet fruit-scented nose. Unctuously-textured, thick, rich, vibrant, pure, and compelling, it should drink well for another 10-20 years." Drink now - 2016. An amazing gift.
