Cheval Des Andes (1500) 2017 dejjames-halliday With more complexity and fleshAn impressive deep, ruby red with shiny garnet reflections. The initial nose is intensely aromatic with fresh fruits (redcurrant), floral (violet) with peppery, mint notes and delicate wood. On the palate, the attack is supple with silk tannins.
