Community Tasting Note

Sunday, April 28, 2024 - A few Coravin pulls from this bottle remind me that 2020 Cheval Blanc is an off-the-charts pure and regal expression, but it will require patience for sure. This had a flash in the glass of supremacy, and then shut down pretty hard after air attacked it. Unripe blackberry, black cherry, asphalt and black mineral notes dominate. It goes into serious Jack Reacher mode pretty quickly.
I’d say see ya in a decade, but it is probably even longer before it really starts to show its stuff in consistent fashion. It was poppin’-off no doubt, but it’s a short-lived jazz hands production at this juncture. The bottle I had last year was much more expressive and held its poise for much longer before it decided to hibernate. This most recent bottle indicates we are boarding-up for donkey’s years.

Anywhooo best nite I have read as I was literally thinking of pulling a 375 to check in as the one we had last summer was spectacular! You saved me a bottle so now I feel we will have to share it down the road.. it’s a 375 so you basically get a glass so don’t ever to excited.
