2015 Cheval des Andes, Mendoza, ArgentinaLove the smoky edge to this wine with its clear graphite, liquorice and spice notes, and its fragrant violet aromatics. There is a feeling of density to the entire thing, with the tannins doing their job of cradling and guiding the blueberry and raspberry fruit. An excellent, sure footed wine, with no Petit Verdot for the first time and yet still delivering plenty of pep, and overall the balance is striking. Drink 2021 2040, 95 100, Jane Anson, Inside

With a higher proportion of Cabernet varieties (66%) than any other St Emilion property

with notes of pomegranate

A contemplative

Enormous concentration

Truly an iconic wine

and biscuity malt

we come across a cask of whisky of which we’re unable to disclose the origins

Upon Alexandre Penet’s taking over the reins at Champagne Penet

it’s still youthful but drinking well

growing in power with grainy tannins and a silky wave of black cherry and tight sweet fruit

with about 5% still red Pinot
