Robert Parker (84)

Somewhat of a disappointment, the 1971, while very good, has in the last several years, begun to brown badly. Nevertheless, the wine still has plenty of sweet fruit, a burnt, roasted character to its bouquet, and medium body. The 1971 is a pleasant, lowbrow Cheval Blanc that should be drunk over the next 2-3 years.

A rather meaty and rich wine with an abundance of developed fruit flavors. Deep ruby center with a garnet edge, and light stewed tomato, tobacco and orange peel aromas; full-bodied, with velvety tomato and tobacco flavors and a lovely, silky finish.
