Cheval Blanc Mise Bordelaise 1945 (750ML)

96 VM / 18 JR

The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins...easily the best I have encountered, offering fine-grained tannins and a judicious adornment of brown spices and ferrous notes toward the poised finish. It ends on a high note, showing better on the palate than the nose. Tasted at Koala's 1945 dinner. -- Neal Martin, Vinous Media

The 1945 is outstanding...It has a remarkably deep, ominous hue...there are some intriguing notes of black fruit, aniseed and tobacco. It is a "stolid" Cheval Blanc.  Tasted February 2014 - Robert Parker (no score given)
