Cheval des Andes 2015

Cheval Blanc & Terrazas de Los Andes

Case Format: 6x75cl

Considered a ‘New World Grand Cru’, Cheval des Andes is a collaboration between Cheval Blan and Terrazas de Los Andes. This joint venture which started in 1999 has been considered very succesful and the wines have recently received high critic scores. It’s a blend of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon and therefore gives the wine a combination of Argentinian fruit with a touch of Bordelais

Jane Anson

Love the smoky edge to this wine with its clear graphite, liquorice and spice notes, and its fragrant violet aromatics. There is a feeling of density to the entire thing, with the tannins doing their job of cradling and guiding the blueberry and raspberry fruit. An excellent, sure-footed wine, with no Petit Verdot for the first time and yet still delivering plenty of pep, and overall the balance is striking. 500l oak casks for ageing for the first time, with the percentage of new oak brought down to 50%. 90% of their own plots were by this point going into the wine, with just 10% from Terrazas de los Andes.

Fine tannins with lots of body. Rich, fresh but with good ripe tannins. Slightly sudden end. Sweet and polished.
