98 points James Suckling: "This is a plush, rich Cheval with blueberry and floral aromas and flavors. HInts of tar and fresh lavender. Full body. The depth and richness are impressive, as are the ripe yet fresh tannins. Very long and structured, yet controlled and in balance. This will be a great wine indeed. Release in September 2021. Drink after 2023. (12/4/20)"
98 points Decanter: "A collaboration between Terrazas de los Andes and Bordeaux's Château Cheval Blanc, this blends 70% Malbec - from Paraje Altamira in Uco Valley and Las Compuertas, Luján de Cuyo - and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in barrel and foudre, the nose presents cherries, plums and black - and redcurrant over a bed of cedar and spice. Velvety and harmonious. Drink 2022-2033. (Apr 2022)"
97 points Tim Atkin, MW: "(14.4%). The latest release of Cheval des Andes confirms the wine’s standing as one of South America’s greatest reds, showing that, as Gérard Gabillet puts it, “we understand our terroirs better and better every year”. Partnering Malbec and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon from Las Compuertas and Paraje Altamira, it has less tannin, density and acidity than the 2017 release, but retains perfume, polish and depth. Floral and refined, with subtle coffee bean oak, sculpted tannins and plum, raspberry and blackcurrant fruit. Classy stuff. 2024-32. (2021)"
