  June 1, 2019 - Cheval Blanc Vertical ‘Chez Elke’ (Hotel Hohenzollern, Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler): Incredibly still fairly fruit forward with red berries, dried fruit and blood orange. Balsamic with a long and balanced finish. Really gains with air!

  June 1, 2019 - Nice color for its age. Initially a slightly animalistic tone in the nose that quickly dissipated leaving room for a pleasant sweetness that combined with a bit of iron reminded me of raspberries and blood oranges. Developed beautifully over time and had an incredibly strong finish.

  July 18, 2018 - With just a few months to go before it hits 90 years of age, this is a stunner! The silky, sexy textures are still there. You can enjoy the remnants of ripe, sweet, cherry and red plums, along with the truffle, tobacco and smoky nuances. Speechless this was on the table.

  June 6, 2009 - Wow, what a beautiful nose. Red berries, cherries, marzipan and a little barnyard and cedar to boot. On the palate, it was pure silk with a predominant cherry flavor and a limestone finish. Not ultra complex, but definitely ultra smooth. Too bad it was almost sunrise and I was beat otherwise I would have enjoyed this even more.
