2019 Cheval des Andes, Mendoza, Argentina

Description

More complexity here than the 2017 and 2018 with Bordeaux-esque notes of graphite, smoke and pepper joining the classic malbec notes of rich dark fruit on the nose. Fabulous depth and concentration, coupled with elegance and refinement on the palate, surprisingly claret-like with great balance between fruit, acidity and ripe, fine tannins. This is an excellent wine which will repay some time in the cellar.

Drink 2024-2038.

About this wine

Malbec

Known as Auxerrois in Cahors, Cot in the Loire and Malbeck in Argentina, this grape has undergone a mini renaissance in the last decade, largely fuelled by its success in South America. It used to be a staple component of the Bordeaux Blend, but it never recovered fully from the 1956 frosts and its plantings there have fallen by 75% as growers have replaced it with more fashionable, and crucially, more durable grapes.
