CHATEAU CHEVAL BLANC 1978 |

Château Cheval Blanc 1978 St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)u. 4bn, 6vts, 2ts, damp-stained labels, corroded capsules, excellent color and clarityIn 2016, this is just drinking so very well. So rich in texture on the palate, thick and luscious, with wonderful perfume and fruit, showing the sheer class of the terroir in this late-vintage year. It really rolls round the mouth and is immensely satisfying. We drank it with venison. Serena Sutcliffe, MW12 bts (owc)Estimates are per lot
