Altos Las Hormigas Tinto 2023

Altos Las Hormigas Tinto is praised for its bold blend of Malbec, Bonarda, and Semillón, offering a fruity nose with caramel, chocolate, and spice. While some appreciate its smooth texture and rich fruit flavors, others find it straightforward and better suited for cooler weather. It pairs well with rich meats and has a lively, tangy quality with a long finish.

The 2020 Altos Las Hormigas Tinto presents a vibrant ruby hue, indicative of its youthful vigor. On the nose, it offers a compelling bouquet of ripe red cherries, blackcurrant, and a hint of wild herbs, underscored by subtle mineral undertones. The palate is medium-bodied, showcasing a harmonious balance between its juicy acidity and finely-grained tannins, which provide a structured backbone. Flavors of plum and raspberry are interwoven with a whisper of dark chocolate, leading to a polished, lingering finish. This wine exemplifies the finesse and expressive terroir of Mendoza, making it a commendable choice for both immediate enjoyment and short-term cellaring.
