2002 Altos Las Hormigas Malbec Reserva -- Mendoza, Argentina

Liquor World -- $24

Tasty! This is one of the better producers in Argentina, and 2002 was the best vintage in a generation. This one is complex, with blueberry, blackberry, minerals, and more. It's all balanced by some firm tannins, which could actually use a bit of mellowing -- so it should improve with age. We bought a case.
