Château Cheval Blanc 1978

St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)

u. 2vts, 1ts, 1hs, labels very slightly soiled; Etiquettes très légèrement sales

56% Cabernet Franc, 44% Merlot. In 2019, a wonderfully luscious, intense perfume, still fresh and emphatic - it seems to have arrived at a plateau and is a great example of this late, October vintage. Rich and velvety on the palate, very harmonious and satisfying, especially with my first grouse of the season! Serena Sutcliffe, MW
