100/100 points Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
October 1994
Lying in a private cellar duty free in Bordeaux, France
6 bottles in original condition in new Château wooden
case
Tasting Note: “What can I say about this mammoth wine
that is more like port than dry red table wine? 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.”
