Altos Las Hormigas, Malbec 2009, a fairly acid malbec





Altos Las Hormigas, Malbec 2009, By Altos Las Hormigas, USD 13

Good Malbec from Mendoza and fairly consistent vintage after vintage. Solid and rich even not very complex. A good value for the price. Nice red and black fruits broken even and soft chocolate.Good passage all through the palate with good aftertaste. Strong acidity and balanced alcohol. This acidity is uncommon in Mendoza´s Malbec style. Probably good to enjoy at least 6 years. I´d say a 89 points malbec blending many districts of Mendoza and a good value.
