Finca Altamira 2015 75cl

This shows so much complexity from the beginning with wild strawberries, red plums, lavender, raspberries, crushed stones, oyster shell, citrus and tile. So concentrated, yet more importantly, so refined and focused on the palate. Has firm yet ever-so-velvety tannins, a vibrant line of acidity and a really dialed-in finish. Drink in 2022.

The nose of the 2015 Malbec Finca Altamira is full of aromas of blood orange and bittersweet cherries, and the palate reveals dusty, slightly grainy tannins and a very pleasant mouthfeel, with balanced acidity. It has some rusticity I had not seen in previous years. There is power and freshness. 12,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in October 2016.
