2013 Cheval des Andes, Mendoza, Argentina

I’ve had the pleasure of being able to taste numerous vintages of Cheval des Andes over the years and this is simply the best yet. Ripe and generous, but not overblown, with a massive abundance of sunny blackcurrant and blackberry fruit on the nose and palate and a very fine tannic structure and floral finish that seems to go on forever. Simply gorgeous now, this will reward some additional cellaring (another three to five years easily. If you broach this early, it is absolutely crying out for a generously thick slab of beef with Chimichurri sauce!
