Alta Vista 'Albaneve' Single Vineyard Malbec 2019, Valle de Ugo, Argentina

Almost opaque with a core of deep purple, ruby and pink rim and staining of the tears. Fantastic bouquet of power and ripeness, dark berries and chocolate, bovril, a touch of molasses and iron, violets and smoky five spice highlights. A satin-smooth touch on the palate soon turns to contrasting ripe, polished tannins, flavours of dark berries and chocolate then spices and mineralised earth qualities. Meaty, some smoke and textured mouthfeel, medium acid line and lengthy focused and persistent finish. Great drinking from 2024 through 2033.
