1979 Cheval Blanc St Emilion

84 pts - Wine Advocate

A healthy dark garnet color is followed by a rather lean, one-dimensional Cheval Blanc with notes of red and black fruits, mineral, and earth, but compactly built and monolithic. It will age nicely for another 10-12 years, but there is not a whole lot of positive evolution to be expected. Drink up. Last tasted, 12/02.- Robert Parker Jr. (01/2003)

The group disagreed on this light, mature wine; I found it lean and dry, with light raisin and dusty notes. Drink up.--Cheval-Blanc vertical. –TM WS
