Lot #65. Cheval Blanc / Terrazas de Los Andes Proprietary Red Cheval des Andes 2006

Description: Consists of 6 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 96 WA.
"The 2006 Cheval des Andes was bottled in early 2008 . . . . The 2006 vintage is superb throughout Mendoza and this wine, as in many other bodegas I visited in April 2008, shows off the extra dimension of complexity made possible in an exceptional year. The wine is composed entirely of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. It is a bit more saturated than the 2005 with a splendid perfume of pain grille, mineral, espresso, black cherry, and black raspberry that leaps from the glass. More opulent and layered than the 2005, it also conceals a bit more structure. The finish seems to go on and on. Cheval des Andes is owned by the legendary Saint-Emilion producer, Château Cheval Blanc. The wine is sourced from their 50 hectare estate vineyard planted on its own roots in 1929." Wine Advocate #180, Dec 2008
