Lo Tengo Malbec

This is one of the coolest labels I have ever seen. When the bottle is tilted, the dancer's legs move. This is also a prime example of how a cool label does not equate to good wine.



When I purchased Lo Tengo Malbec from Argentina, I was expecting a typical Malbec with the qualities of earthiness, mushrooms, and fall leaves with this wine. Instead, I found a smooth plum that was rather one-dimensional and not full of Malbecian bling. Although this is by no means an undrinkable wine, such as the Cecchi, the day after I opened it I had a choice to finish it or move on, and I decided to move on.
