{"product_id":"cheval-des-andes-2009","title":"Cheval des Andes 2009","description":"Cheval des Andes 2009 is a full-bodied, Bordeaux-style red wine from the Mendoza region of Argentina. Cheval des Andes is a pioneering collaboration between two of the iconic wine brands of France and Argentina. Château Cheval Blanc from Bordeaux and Terrazas de los Andes from Mendoza. The project seeks to connect with the Bordeaux routes of Malbec in Argentina through a Bordeaux-style blend produced from fruit in the Las Compuertas vineyard, which was planted in Mendoza in 1929. The 2009 vintage is a blend of Malbec (59%), Cabernet Sauvignon (36%) and Petit Verdot (5%). \"The nose is completely closed and ungiving, so you need to exercise your wrist and swirl your glass around energetically and you’ll get rewarded with subtle and complex notes of forest floor, leather, cigar box, and cured meat, but especially shiny, perfectly ripe black fruit aromas. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with velvety tannins, superb integration of the oak and focused flavours of cassis, blueberries, soil and faint violets. Great in a slightly international style, a little ripe. A big, ripe Argentine Cheval.\" Wine Advocate, 2015","brand":"Cheval Blanc \u0026 Terrazas de Los Andes","offers":[{"title":"Duty Paid","offer_id":62414372864330,"sku":"HED85955","price":100.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/7696\/2634\/files\/WINES_1.jpg?v=1782751804","url":"https:\/\/hedonism.co.uk\/products\/cheval-des-andes-2009","provider":"Hedonism Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
