CHATEAU CHEVAL BLANC 1970 |

Château Cheval Blanc 1970 St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)u. 1bn, 1vts, 1t/hs, 2h/m, good color and clarity, 2 labels with good appearance, 3 slightly soiled and slightly glue striped, capsules slightly worn, 3 slightly corroded on top, 3 damaged around collarA generous 40 hl/hectare was made. The vintage took place from 24 September to 6 October. 12% alcohol. I was amazed at how fresh this still was on the nose at 37 years old. It remains a fine 1970, although there is considerable bottle variation due to bottling practices at the time. It is pretty solid, with that Cheval sweet finish.
