Tasting Notes and Scores

92.0 WK

The 1970 Cheval Blanc is drinking very nicely, offering up aromas of sweet plummy fruit mingled with notions of burning embers, tobacco leaf, violets and cedar. Medium-bodied, with a fleshy core of fruit, supple, largely melted tannins and a persistent finish, rumors of its demise are much exaggerated.

An extraordinarily burgundian red bordeaux. (From memory the 1971 was more convincing.) Pale ruby, very light and fresh – sweet and perfumed. Cool somehow and pretty rather than beautiful. Very slightly slight. (JR)
