Incredible. You don't know what to expect with old wines but this 1950 Cheval Blanc had a surprisingly dark color and had a port like mouthfeel. Some VA notes but otherwise a balanced glass of wine that could frankly age longer. Great experience!

Reddish ruby with a little brown. Almost opaque. Pure nose of black cherry, mint, herbs, cola. Incredibly rich and round in the mouth. Long finish. Guessed old Heitz Martha's Vineyard. I think that's a complement to both. Opened 5 hrs in advance and then drunk over 4 more hours, this became more refined with time. Kind of angular versus the more opulent 45 Mouton. Parker's favorite wine the legendary 47 Cheval Blanc. What a treat to compare the two side by side. I think the 45 Mouton wins at the wire tho.
