Occasional wine note

Yet another delicious Malbec from Argentina. An inviting floral bouquet, delicious ripe dark fruits, dried herbs, hints of spice, all packaged in a lighter bodied red made to feel a bit bigger from the ever-present tannin. Love it!

James Suckling

This is a new wine from a single parcel with spicy mineral, white pepper, blackberry and bark notes. Medium-bodied with firm, open, crunchy tannins that are fine grained. Made and aged in concrete. No wood.

Vinous

The 2021 Malbec Jardin de Hormigas Meteora originates from Paraje Altamira and was aged for 12 months in concrete vessels. Purple in hue. The subtle, nuanced nose features violet, sage and fennel notes alongside plum and blackberry. It has a dry, lean, chalky texture with an athletic, focused profile in which the energy and mouthfeel enhance the light-footed character. The 2021 is a modern, beautifully sculpted red.
