Altos Las Hormigas 2009 - $9



David: A malbec from Mendoza. Deep purple in color. Big fruity nose of red raspberry and blackberry, violets, herbs, sweet vanilla and a little menthol. Full bodied. Low acidity, layered fruits with some spice. No real tannins. High alcohol is evident throughout and is a little distracting. Finish is quite hot, not exactly pleasant.
Score: 3.5/5

Jessica: Mild overall. Fruits were blueberry and blackberry with a subtle caramel finish. Overall impression was underwhelming, uninspired.
Score: 3.6/5
