"The 2005 Cheval des Andes is made up of 60% Malbec 26% Cabernet Sauvignon 7% Merlot and 7% Petit Verdot. Purple-colored it exhibits a complex bouquet of wood smoke scorched earth violets black cherry and blackberry liqueur. On the palate it is remarkably elegant with a velvety texture superb depth savory flavors ripe tannin and 5-7 years of aging potential. Its drinking window will begin in 2014 and last through 2030 at the least." 94 Points Wine Advocate
