Grand Rêve Vintners / Force Majeure

Ciel du Cheval Vineyard Collaboration Series III Syrah

100 percent Syrah from Red Mountain. Delicious, light to medium bodied. Apparently hard to get distributed, but worth it! — 12 years ago

Cuvée Lucia Ciel du Cheval Vineyard Sangiovese 2009

Red Mountain is a sleeper site for the blood of Jove. Classic profile of tangy sour cherry, some spice and black tea over a nice solid tannic backbone. Tiny bit of tar on a nice medium-long finish. Drink up if you have this rarity...the prime time is now! Cin cin! — 10 years ago

Château Cheval Blanc

Héritiers Fourcaud-Laussac St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 1947

Reddish ruby with a little brown. Almost opaque. Pure nose of black cherry, mint, herbs, cola. Incredibly rich and round in the mouth. Long finish. Guessed old Heitz Martha's Vineyard. I think that's a complement to both. Opened 5 hrs in advance and then drunk over 4 more hours, this became more refined with time. Kind of angular versus the more opulent 45 Mouton. Parker's favorite wine the legendary 47 Cheval Blanc. What a treat to compare the two side by side. I think the 45 Mouton wins at the wire tho. — 10 years ago

3L 1975 Lafite Rothschild Bordeaux. Drank at Nobu holiday dinner. This was served alongside the 1978 Cheval Blanc. Wine was good, but paled in comparison to the Cheval Blanc. — 10 years ago
