"The wine was incredibly kinky and exotic in the nose; Wendy immediately noted Pina Colada, and Ray found it more coconuts and cream, splitting a hair into two. It definitely had this amazing suntan lotion quality, and Rob was admiring how pure and laser-like the wine was. Wendy noted some licorice, and Ray was being his usual self, calling it more anise. There was no doubting its exotic aromas that were bordering on tropical in a candle wax and Mounds (chocolate and coconut) way. Rob noted big banana 94 Colgin-ish, and while I saw what he was saying, the Cheval had more earth, barn and bread than the usual 1994 Colgin, although perhaps in forty years that Colgin will be the same! The flavors were chocolaty, bready, earthy and slaty, and Mike noted marzipan and took my Mounds and Almond Joyed me back. Rob got slightly critical and found it dessert wine-like, a la Chambers Tokay. The wine was kinky, exotic and outstanding."
