Saturday, March 8, 2014 - Cheval Blanc tasting (30 different vintages) at the Rheingau Gourmet Festival 2014: rubin color; very intense coffee; austere in the mouth; medium body; very angular and coarse texture.
Had a bottle of 1994 Cheval Blanc several years ago. That bottle was much more open and approachable like this one.
So the following questions arise: is it (only) bottle variation? (When) did the 1994 closed down? (When) will it (ever) open up again?
Guess for answers, I need at least another bottle :-).
Vintages 6th flight: 1994-1995-1996-2000-2003
