Bodega Luigi Bosca Malbec Luján de Cuyo Reserva 2005
A big, broad-shouldered wine, with muscular layers of black fig, coffee, bittersweet cocoa and dark licorice piled on top of hefty cedar-tinged tannins. A bit of a brute in style, but cellaring should soften its edges enough. Drink now through 2010. 57,000 cases made. –JM
