Community Tasting Note

Friday, August 6, 2010 - Wow, wow, nice job Ben, this has really rounded into form very nicely over the past 7 years. Knockout aromatics, bright, and floral. Gorgeous balance with fantastic acidity, bright raspberry notes moving to dark chocolate with a brooding edge. There are still some firm tannins lingering on this cool, elegant wine. Really very pretty. 64% Cabernet, 20% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 6% Petit Verdot. It seems like a very Ciel du Cheval personality, especially on the floral nose. I'm curious what the blend is.
Day 2: Hoohah, this only improved overnight. Wow there is a lot of structure still here, more than I realized. Soaring, powerful, pure. Fantastic.
