Cheval des Andes 2010 Mendoza i trækasse

“95 points. This is one of the finest vintages of Cheval des Andes” – Robert Parker

“94 points. Consistently one of Argentina's classiest bottlings.” – Vinous

Argentinas svar på Cheval Blanc! Ikoniske Cheval des Andes er, nøjagtig som Château Cheval Blanc i Saint-Émilion, ejet af Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy – der benytter samme winemaker til begge kultvine!

Druerne høstes i svimlende 1100 meters højde, hvor den kølige bjergluft er med til at sikre balancen og den langsomme udvikling af druernes aromaer. Det unikke terroir består hovedsageligt at Malbec-vinstokke, der blev plantet helt tilbage i 1929. Den elegante frugt bliver forædlet på en blanding af nye og gamle egetræsfade, så terroiret virkelig får lov til at skinne igennem samtidig med at vinen tilføres delikate fadkrydderier.

Vi har fundet et par enkelte kasser i vores vinkælder, som nu sættes til salg. Et must have for fans af stor Bordeaux og Argentinsk Malbec.

Ved køb af 6 flasker leveres vinen i original trækasse

Anmeldelser af Cheval des Andes 2010

95/100 Robert Parker
“The 2010 Cheval des Andes is produced with grapes grown at an old vineyard (planted in 1929) at Las Compuertas, in the Luján de Cuyo department of Mendoza plus grapes from La Consulta in the Uco Valley. The blend changes with each vintage and in 2010 they had very good Petit Verdot so the percentage of it is higher than ever. It's a blend of 60% Malbec and 20% each Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. The wine shows great integration of the oak, with notes of blackcurrant and spices (black pepper), showing restraint and incipient elegance along with underbrush and hints of truffles. I think I've never seen such an elegant Cheval des Andes. The palate reveals very good balance between power and elegance with ripe, fine-grained tannins, good length and freshness. Stronger balsamic notes emerge with time in the glass. This is one of the finest vintages of Cheval des Andes, challenged maybe... by 2011! Keep an eye open for these two vintages. 60,000 bottles produced.”

94+/100 Vinous
“Saturated bright ruby. Pungent, inky aromas of blackberry, espresso, bitter chocolate, wild herbs and crushed rock. Boasts superb ripeness for a wine from a cool year, offering sneaky sweetness to the dense, palate-saturating flavors of dark berries, licorice and minerals. Combines outstanding delicacy and energy, communicating a weightless impression. Finishes with noble tannins and outstanding subtle length. This joint venture between Cheval Blanc and Terrazas de los Andes is consistently one of Argentina's classiest bottlings.”

94/100 James Suckling
“This is very structured and powerful with lots of firm tannins that are polished and pretty. It's full-bodied, with blackberry, dark chocolate and hints of hazelnut. 50% Malbec, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20 Petit Verdot. Very Bordeaux. A wine for long-term aging but so beautiful now.”
