My highest mark goes to the magnificent 2002 Val de Flores. Fashioned from 100% old vine (50-60 years) Malbec aged 14 months in new French oak, it boasts a sensational purple color to the rim as well as a super perfume of plums, blackberries, minerals, toast, and flowers. A wine of great intensity, sumptuous richness, gorgeous freshness, and a vigorous personality, this 20,000 bottle cuvée exhibits tremendous texture as well as length, and impressive accessibility. Consume it over the next 10-12 years.
