Altos Las Hormigas Malbec Appellation Paraje Altamira

Drinking well atm. Much better than on release. Components integrated well.

Taste of red plum and black cherry with a green herbal finish. Mid-high body with a silky texture.

Very nice wine had with chick pea quesadillas. Let's get more

Bright red fruits and acid driven for a malbec. Nice interpretation of the varietal. I'd prefer some more clarity and definition. Good food wine. Should improve over the next 2-5 years and hold several more.

Fine attack, blue berries and meaty notes, good mid palate, very long finish. Fine grained tannins that linger, supple body, lifted, no oak influence in flavours.

Spicy and bright fruit for malbec. With minerality. Good stuff.

Limestone and silt soils, no clay, or a very minor percentage. And so it is really really delicate, but with a good tension and a good persistance. High smell on the nose, black pepper, spice, ... "For me drinkability is everything and savoriness. Those are keys for a wine that I like. And savoriness cannot come from anything else but the soil. And darn, I think that is very good as well.
