Un monstre ce Cheval Blanc 03. Il aura besoin encore de plusoeurs annees, mais on peut goûter tout le potentiel.

Lemon, green banana, lime pith, daisy, crushed rock dust, a sweet note: lemon verbena pudding. Lychee notes with lemon, lime and tangerine with amazing acid and mineral residuals that coalesce to lemon soaked pith. Round and lovely aura around tangential, edgy acid. Finesse. #tenutacavalierpepe #irpinafalanghina #falanghina #santavara #docg #italianwine #vinobianco #whitewine #campania #campagnia — 3 years ago

Granges des peres 2007
Nez très expressif et explosif
Tapenade, café espresso, violette
La robe est dense, signe d’évolution à peine perceptible.
En bouche c’est puissant, c’est rond, il y a de la matière. Le Vin est intriguant, on veut y replonger le nez, pour voir s’il y aura de nouvelles arômes. La fraise et le cèdre font leur apparition en bouche 4:15PM. Je sens que le vin va évoluer tout au long de la soirée.
Apres quelques heures en carafe, on dénote, le coté viandeux, plus terreux, boite à cigare qui se mélange parfaitement aux autres aromes.
Je m’attendais à un profil plus bourguignon ou plus Rhône Nord comme le 2004 dégusté il y a déjà quelques années mais non je l’ai trouve un peu plus costaud qu’a mon souvenir mais c’est tout à fait excellent et extrêmement bien fait

Let’s just say that this is not your average pink blush, this very unique Rosé from the grand master of Rioja, R Lopez de Heredia, is absolutely outstanding. An admirable wine with a meditative aura. Perhaps the best (non-Champagne) Rosé that I’ve encountered.
The 2010 (!) vintage was aged for 4 years in old American oak and 7 years in bottle. Despite its age the fruit profile is shining with a very intense profile of dried strawberries, orange zest, toffee, fennel seeds, before revealing its mature side with an elegant portion of potting soil, tobacco and a slight minty volatile lift.
Extraordinary concentration on the palate, full bodied and well built with a creamy toffee like mid palate. But there is nerve and tension in the center with a slight grip that brings balance and nuance across a complex evolving finish — a year ago
Tart introduction and then soft strawberries and cranberries on the tongue. Quick kick of tartness again as it ends. But the color! Beautiful blue-violet aura in the glass. — 2 years ago

1982 vintage. Cinnamon and baked cherry nose with specks of pepper; eucalyptus aura shimmering. Rye bread with plum reduction, dusty cedar, dehydrated blackberry, broiled blueberry, reflective graphite glimmers, toasted wheat, holly leaf. Baked bing and raspberry with dried plum skin; black currant reduction with all kinds of legs. Sage and dandelion leaf, dried black mushroom, bitter blueberry, graphite gravy, and a side of pomegranate. So fun to taste this legendary vintage. Seems to be in the perfect place now.
