Description
Chateau Cheval Blanc 1947St. Emilion
vhs, bsl nc, tc, sdc, excellent color
Bottle (1)
Acquired in the early-mid 90s through reputable channels and stored behind a secret panel, carved beneath the foundation of a magnificent Bel-Air home, with redundant temperature and humidity control.
"Exhibiting aromas of sweet raisins and caramel intermingled with notions of berry preserve, licorice, dark chocolate and vine smoke, it's full-bodied, velvety and rich, with a fleshy, layered core and a supple, pliant profile, remaining impressively seamless and vibrant, and concluding with a long but raisiny finish." (94 pts. William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Sept. 2022)
"The 1947 Cheval Blanc exhibits such a thick texture it could double as motor oil. The huge nose of fruitcake, chocolate, leather, coffee, and Asian spices is mind-boggling. The unctuous texture and richness of sweet fruit are amazing. Consider the fact that this wine is, technically, appallingly deficient in acidity and excessively high in alcohol. Moreover, its volatile acidity levels would be considered intolerable by modern day oenologists. Yet how can they explain that after 47 years the wine is still remarkably fresh, phenomenally concentrated, and profoundly complex? It has to make you wonder about the direction of modern day winemaking." (100 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Oct 1994)
