Château Cheval Blanc 1962

Tasting notes

"Once somewhat of a sleeper wine from this underrated vintage, the 1962 Cheval Blanc has held on to life longer than many, but is now in decline. The color shows considerable amber, and the wine seems a bit loose-knit and disjointed on the palate. Nevertheless, it has complex notes of herbs, earth, licorice, truffle, and some sweet fruits that linger. In the mouth, there is a hint of dessication, leather, and hard tannin poking its head through in the finish."
