Achaval Ferrer "Finca Altamira" Mendoza Malbec 2020

Wine Enthusiast : 94 Points

(10/1/2024) The winery's Finca series showcases wines that present a true expression of their place of origin. Coming from old vineyards in Paraje Altamira, this Malbec has the tension of wines from this region. Cranberries and mulberries on the nose introduce fleshy plums and blackberries on the ripe palate. The long list of flavors includes balanced notes of chocolate, rosemary and thyme. Drink now–2034.

James Suckling : 93 Points

(3/4/2023) A deep and jammy malbec with plenty of sweet cherries, blackberries, mocha, pine cones and graphite. A hint of bitter herbs and crushed cocoa beans. Expansive and flavorful, with a very full-bodied palate. Long and very hedonistic. A big, flashy style with unblushingly overripe fruit. Luckily, there is concentration and fine tannins to hold it up. Try in 2025.
