Château Cos d'Estournel (St. Estèphe)
In the nose, the wine is spicy, with cedar, tobacco, blackberries, black currants, and green, peppery herbs. Concentrated, chewy, and a bit chunky, the wine strives to be elegant, and almost gets there, but it just can’t quite make it. With 1 hour of air, there is some improvement.

Cheval des Andes (Vistalba)
Served blind, I'd think this was a top Hermitage due to its smoky character, topped with mint, peppery herbs, barbecued meat, black currants, blackberries, along with a hint of blueberry. The palate is rich, full-bodied, long, fresh, and vibrant, with energetic notes of mint leaf, black cherries, cocoa, chalk, and a range of exotic spices that linger. The wine is produced from blending 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% old vine Malbec, and 5% Petit Verdot. Drink from 2027-2045. 364 Views Tasted Sep 10, 2025 |

More on the secondary side of the style range with its tobacco, campfire ember, burnt leaf, wet earth and last remaining vestiges of red fruits in the nose.
