Château Cheval-Blanc--Vintage 1978
Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé (A)
Very good appearance. Levels: ten into neck, one base of neck and one top-shoulder
In original wooden case

Tasting Note: This is a firmly built, concentrated Cheval Blanc that, curiously, has not displayed the precocious, fleshy, charming fruit in its early life that most vintages of Cheval Blanc exhibit. The wine is still dark ruby, with a relatively stubborn and backward bouquet suggestive of rich, ripe blackcurrants, mineral scents, herbs, and grilled nuts. On the palate, the wine is tannic, medium bodied, and admirably concentrated. It resembles the stylish, austere 1966, but appears more concentrated. Anticipated maturity: Now-2008. Robert Parker. Bordeaux Book. 3rd Edition. Jan 1998.
