This is a famous 1964 and did not disappoint us. It was still very sweet and rich with both spice and even berry notes. Wonderful stuff with Cheval's light touch.

The 1964 is a wonderfully rich, thick, powerful, and concentrated wine that is the most authoritative Cheval Blanc produced since the monumental wines made by this chateau in 1947, 1948, and 1949. Opaque dark ruby, with only some amber, and a powerful, yet restrained bouquet of roasted ripe fruit, cedar, herbs, and gravelly, mineral scents, the wine remains amazingly young and tannic, with layer upon layer of ripe fruit. This is a heavyweight, old-style Cheval Blanc that should be pure nectar for at least another 10-15 years. It continues to evolve at a snail's pace.

At its best, Cheval challenges Chateau Latour for wine of the vintage in 1964. This bottle was delicious, fragrant and deep, with floral, spicy, berry and chocolate flavors, complex and long. Drink now.--Cheval-Blanc vertical.
