'47 great growth claret dinner at our home - '70s

I feel very fortunate to have been able to taste so many legendary wines over the years. The ’47 Cheval Blanc is perhaps the most famous claret of the 20th century, and it has been fabulous any time I’ve been lucky enough to run into it. But on this night, the ’47 Petrus was it’s equal—two unearthly and monumental wines. La Mission Haut-Brion was not far behind, but Haut-Brion and Lafite were sorely outclassed in that fabled vintage.
