Description

One half bottle.

As can be seen in the photos the label has suffered but is complete and the essentials are quite lisible.

The level is a very good 'base of neck' and the capsule is complete and showing no signs of seepage.

Neal Martin's notes


Wine Journal Sep 2011 Neal Martin 94 Drink 2011 - 2020
Tasted at Cheval Blanc dinner at The Ledbury. This has always been a great 1970 Saint Emilion. It has a noticeable deep hue. The nose is unashamedly rustic with mulberry, crushed flowers, wild heather and a touch of chlorophyll. Great definition and vibrancy: a wine wallowing in its secondary aromas. The palate has fine definition and demonstrated much more backbone than the Cheval ’78 tasted alongside. Here, the Merlot is undaunted by the Cabernet Franc and lends it a beguiling fleshiness, especially towards the ferrous finish. This is a wonderful that is a point. Drink now-2020. Tasted November 2010.

Jan 2000 Neal Martin 94-96 Drink 1999 - 2003 $283-$504
A stunning nose: ripe plum, tobacco, leather nose. Very pure. Palate is refined, better balanced than the 1971. Good acidity. Very ripe and elegant with layers and glycerin and black fruits. Not as complex as Cheval Blanc 83, but a beautiful wine and very charming. Drinking now. Tasted December 2002.
