A ripe, spicy malbec here full of fresh blackberries, blueberries, some sweet dark spices, black wood and dark chocolate. Crunchy, fresh and juicy on the medium- to full-bodied palate with firm, supportive and small-grained tannins. Plenty of oak spices in the energetic finish. Give it one more year to let the sweet oak spices integrate. Drink from 2024.

The 2022 Malbec La Posta Pizzella comes from Paraje Altamira in the Uco Valley and was 50% aged in oak barrels, a fifth new and the rest used, while the other 50% went into stainless steel tanks. Purple in the glass. The nose presents violet and fresh plums with subtle herbal aromas. The 2022 is indulgent and juicy, with somewhat chalky tannins contributing to a taut, mouthwatering mouthfeel. This is quintessential Altamira.

Fresh and inviting, with notes of grated nutmeg and dried rose petal joining a juicy core of pomegranate and plum on a suave frame. Finishes silky, echoing back to the floral- and spice-filled opening. Drink now. 20,000 cases made, 10,000 cases imported.
