Community Tasting Note

Sunday, August 26, 2007 - Good but slightly fading color. Gorgeous nose of black fruits, roasted nuts and this fantastic blanket of perfumed Cheval earth. Wow, what an incredibly smooth texture that's like liquid velvet. This is a classic, middle-aged Cheval Blanc that's medium to full bodied with delicious black fruit flavors and strong mineral notes. Finishes with a second dimension of complex, earthy flavors that are hard to describe but seem to combine roasted nuts, graphite, liquid slate and sweet soil. There's also a bit of crisp acidity on the finish which makes me think this wine needs a bit more time. It absolutely baths itself over a Lobel's sirloin. While I tend to think this wine is a bit overrated, tonight it is singing.
