Altimus 2005, By Bodega El Esteco, USD 40
Great blend from Cafayate Valley, Salta Province Northwest Argentina.
A complete wine made of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tannat, Syrah and Bonarda. It fills the palate in every second of tasting even preserving the delicate and fine structure. Fine fruity notes of well matured berries and plum and also an edge of black pepper corn and soft minerality. Beautiful tabacco and vanilla surrounding. Velvety yet well structured by alcohol and acidity. A 94 points red probably the best between 6-8 years cellar, but some might like it more terciary after 8-12 years. A great Cafayate´s Value for 40 bucks.
