Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, February 13, 2008 - Cheval at Heidi's: From magnum. Double decanted for about four hours and then fully decanted for about six hours. The color is a dense, dark red. The nose gives a big dose of carmel and vanilla along with red fruit, espresso, and dill (who mixed the Pichon Lalande with my Cheval?). The taste is dominated by red fruit with some chocolate/coffee notes. Extremely concentrated and big yet balanced thanks to formidable structure. Silky smooth. Lacking in complexity at the moment but I'm confident this will fill in with additional time in the cellar. I tasted the 1990 from 375 last fall and it was showing much better than this bottle. Let your bottles and magnums sleep awhile longer.
