Cheval des Andes 2006
Las Compuertas, Vistalba District, Luján de Cuyo, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaThe star of the 2001 to 2006 vertical is the soon to be released '06 Chevl des Andes. Pierre Lurton (Cheval Blanc) and Nicolas Audebert (Cheval des Andes) have made the ultimate French style Argentine malbec in '06. The colour is black the nose an exceptional scent of minerality toasted bread, floral notes and liquorice. On the palate the wine is silky smooth and loaded with sweet tannins and big spicy, savoury, black cherry, violet flavours. There is perfect tension between acidity and the fruit that gives this 60/35/5 blend of malbec, cabernet sauvignon and merlot wine the finesse, complexity and structure to age for a decade and beyond.
