Cheval des Andes tasting with their technical manager who is also an assistant winemaker. Tasted ‘05, ‘07, ‘14 and ‘15. Very cool story behind this winery (and its affiliation with Chateau Cheval Blanc).

Initially, this was my least favorite wine of the night, but it surprised me at how the fruit came back front and center and retained juicy and tart notes! Strawberry, rhubarb, and blackberry tart. Secondary notes of tobacco and old fig. Holding nicely with air.
