Alamos High Altitude Vines Selección Mendoza Malbec

Deep Ruby red color, purple edges, aromas of jammy dark fruit and floral pepper spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and blueberry fruit with toasty oak and pepper spice. Firm drying tannins, medium length ending with fruit, cacao and floral spice.

Well made, the nose is expressive, with plums, dark cherries and the sweet kiss of oak. Easy, crowd pleaser, correct.

It’s good. It is friendly and just...well balanced. Not the most deep and complex but very smart. There is a brightness and cranberry with almost maple notes lingering in the background. That and a bucket of blueberry jam. But as I said, balanced. This jam knows how to balance work and family.

Very flavorful and smooth. Hits the back palate immediately and then finds its way to the mid. Light acidity, mostly just round, plush, red fruit.

Nice Malbec, but kind of unrefined. Not smooth enough for me.

Woodsy, dark, rich and full of fruit. Tannins were quite ripe and well integrated.

Much bigger then the standard Malbec. Good oak and earth influence. 7.

Aromas of blueberry jam, vanilla, cocoa, licorice.

Finish: 3/5

Well-rounded. Smooth. Has a warmth that hits the back of the throat. Full of cherry and blackberry. Fantastic with a sharp cheese.

Belle qualité pour le prix. Un peu plus rond mais sans trop, goûteux.
