WA 93 (12/2007): The 2004 Cheval des Andes is composed of 55% Malbec, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 2% Petit Verdot. Purple-colored, it offers a complex bouquet of pain grille, violets, pencil lead, black cherry, and black currant. This is followed by a medium to full-bodied, elegant wine with a smooth texture, intense flavors, and Outstanding length. There is enough hidden tannin to support 8-10 years of further evolution in the bottle and it should continue to drink well through 2030.
VM 91+ (1/2008): (a blend of 55% malbec, 43% cabernet sauvignon and 2% petit verdot) Saturated bright ruby. Singular nose offers dark berries, fresh herbs, flowers and an exotic whiff of apricot. Suave, juicy and lively, with the white fruit quality carrying through on the wonderfully delineated palate. Very subtle flavors of dark berries, bitter cherry, tobacco leaf, musky earth and fresh herbs. Not a sweet style but plenty ripe, with serious but well-integrated acidity. I find this fascinating for its energy and restrained sweetness, not to mention its sexy exotic character. Finishes very long and firmly tannic but not hard. This wine is a joint venture between Cheval Blanc and Terrazas de los Andes, and one can clearly see the hand of Cheval Blanc director Pierre Lurton. May well merit an even higher score with five or six years of bottle aging. Stephen Tanzer.
WS 89 (5/2008): Concentrated, with good grip to the sage, ganache, fig, plum sauce and black licorice flavors that rumble through the dark, loamy finish. Solid, if a bit heavy in style. Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2010. 1,000 cases imported. |
