Altos Las Hormigas Malbec Reserva 2009
Mendoza, ArgentinaAltos Las Hormigas is Luján de Cuyo-based, Mendoza's only official sub-appellation. The grapes come off high density vine plantings in Vista Flores/Chacayes in the Valle de Uco. The colour is rich purple, the nose, a riot of spice and red fruit mixed with liquorice and stony black fruits. The signature Antonini balance marks the mid-palate and the finish. The finish is long and complex, (not tiring) with fruit and fine-grained tannins throughout. This will age gracefully and be a stellar wine in a decade.
