2005 Cheval Des Andes Red Wine ( 94 pts RP)

"The joint venture between Terrazas de los Andes and Bordeaux icon Château Cheval Blanc has shifted from a cabernet-based blend to an old vine malbec-based blend in the past few vintages. Silky and suave, it has a lifted violet-rose and spicy aromatic quality that must be the malbec, with a firm, classically European backbone and weight from the cabernet. In the context of world fine wine, a bargain." Forbes Magazine highlighted the Terrazas de los Andes Cheval des Andes 2005 as one of their "20 Exceptional Wines from South America."
