Retail $55. Big. Ass. Bottle. 100% Malbec. I believe this is the top Malbec (at least of those available in the U.S.) and that is perhaps why they chose to use a ridiculously heavy bottle. I have been on the record countless times expressing how utterly stupid this practice is and I will keep doing so until this earth-killing practice is halted. As for the wine? There is no question, this is a top-notch Malbec as it has all the markers: good fruit, balancing tartness, layers of depth, lengthy finish. While I would like to see a bit more tannic grip on the backend (the tannins are essentially integrated), that might be a personal preference.
