Altos Las Hormigas Malbec 2019

Description

‘Concentration is easy to achieve in Argentina,’ says Alberto Antonini, ‘but texture is much harder.’ All I can say is that he has succeeded here on this best-ever release from Altos Las Hormigas, which brings Burgundian levels of grace and complexity to Malbec. Scented, hauntingly graceful and complex with remarkable focus and depth, a hint of oak, sweet red fruits and a lingering finish. Exceptional winemaking. 2023-2034. Score – 98.
