One of the 'iconic' wines which is becoming increasingly hard to find this is a ,very fine example with a good 'base of neck' level, a good clean label - just a single bin scrape to the RHS middle.
Good firm capsule - certainly no signs if any seepage.

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.

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.
