1966 Cheval Blanc St Emilion Red Blend
Condition:GSL
A good rather than great effort from Cheval Blanc, the 1966 is now fully mature. Medium ruby with an amber edge, this is a restrained version of Cheval Blanc, with a stylish, reserved bouquet of mineral scents, black currants, and spicy oak. On the palate, the wine is medium bodied, moderately fleshy, but not so voluptuous or as concentrated as one expects Cheval Blanc to be in this highly regarded vintage. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 10/90. RP
