  July 1, 2023 - The wine is yet primary, with only the earliest integration of rich dark fruit with it's other components. It presents with profound velvety black fruited richness & subtle aromas of ground carob. Perfectly balanced.. it may benefit from several hours decant but I'm inclined to wait several years to drink another.

  April 9, 2023 - Château Cheval Blanc, one of the Premier Grand Cru Classé A wineries in Bordeaux collaborated with Terrazas de los Andes after noticing that the vineyards there were similar to those in St. Emilion where Château Cheval Blanc is located.
  
  This Bordeaux-style blend of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot displays notes of dark fruit, chocolate and mineral, with firm tannins and a long finish. It's a complex and elegant wine that can be aged for a few more years, but can also be enjoyed now with a good cut of red meat. Overall, it's a great representation of the style the estate aims to portray, both in terms of boldness and finesse.

  January 14, 2023 - Consistent with prior notes, tertiaries really coming thru now. Tannins nicely integrated making this very easy to drink without a decant.
