97 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

A refined but spicy Cheval, showing charcoal, blueberries, wild herbs, lavender and hints of bacon and cedar. Medium to full body with extremely fine tannins that get dialed into the fruit with violet, spices and sweet blue fruit at the end. Long and subtle. Drink or hold.

Written Notes

This equal blend of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon displays a deep, purple colour with a violet hue and quite black core. Initially slightly closed, the nose opens up very well, displaying an aroma reminiscent of ripe blackberries and blackcurants, juicy plums, with hints of blackcurrant spurs, mild spices, white pepper and discreet floral hints. With some time in the glas an elegant toasting shows up and the wine reveals hints of cedar wood, graphite and a whiff of smoked bacon. The palate is delicate, arguably the most elegant palate over the last decade, with finely grained tannins, distinct freshness and precision, quoting the flavour of the nose. Its depth, elegance and balanced character shows parallels with Cheval Blanc. A great Argentinian wine with excellent aging potential and a bordelais touch.
