The 2022 vintage allowed for a slower ripening of Cabernet Sauvignon, which take prominence in this blend alongside 30% Malbec and 5% Petit Verdot. Aging was carried out in 40% 225-liter Bordeaux barrels, 35% 400-liter barrels and 25% 2,500-liter foudres, with 50% new oak. A bouquet of bright fruit—raspberry, blueberry and delicate cassis—and complementary bay leaf and mint tones give way to a touch of ash and mild bell pepper. Boasting serious concentration, fine tannins and a slight creaminess, the 2022 has a structure that is firm but never tight, maintaining weight without losing balance. The finish is long, energetic and full of flavor. This is an exceptionally beautiful wine. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e99 Points - Vinous \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cheval des Andes","offers":[{"title":"Bottle","offer_id":46172867690553,"sku":"50766B","price":152.67,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/4213\/0233\/files\/872747.webp?v=1783453926","url":"https:\/\/halpernwine.com\/products\/cheval-des-andes","provider":"Halpern Wine Enterprises","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
