Tasting Notes
The only wine I tasted this time was the 2019 Malbec from Paraje Altamira, which has the telltale floral notes of violets and lilies and is delicate and expressive, a little simple at first but with more complexity that isn't apparent at first sight. It has 13.5% alcohol and good acidity, so it comes through as fresh, balanced, elegant and lighter than the majority of reds from Mendoza, with very fine chalky tannins. I think this 2019 keeps up with the 2018. 2,400 bottles produced.
