The 2016 Cheval Des Andes is drinking nicely, with complex, nuanced aromas and flavors of red and black currants, green tobacco, cedarwood, damp earth, and spring flowers. A blend of 58% Malbec, 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Petit Verdot brought up in 40% new French oak, it's already in its drink window, has medium-bodied richness, nicely integrated acidity, and supple tannins. It's certainly a Bordeaux lover’s Mendoza that, while not green per se, certainly has more herbal, leafy, complex nuances. Drink it over the coming decade.
