Longrow Red Refill Malbec Matured is age stated at 10 years. It is matured for 7 years in bourbon barrels and in South African refill malbec barriques for 3 years. It is a limited release of 10,000 bottles. It is bottled at cask strength, 52.5% ABV. I do not know the MSRP for this bottle, and you probably won’t be able to find this at MSRP. I bought this one on the secondary for $200. I love Longrow Red. There is something immensely pleasurable about the dirty, diesel fuel that is Longrow combined with the elegant fruits of a good red wine. Every release feels elevated because the red wine barrels that are used were actually from something drinkable, and the amount of influence from the wine is bold. This is a malbec braising liquid reduced to just short of sauce consistency on some savory, meaty cask strength Longrow. You can still smell the malbec grapes on the nose. It is macerated in diesel fuel and dirt. On the palate, there is a mouth-watering acidity from the immense wine influence, like raspberry and basalmic vinegar, but with that meaty, ashy backbone of Longrow. The transition from something bright and effervescent into something savory and umami and finally into cigar ashes is an irresistible experience. This is not the best Longrow Red, which I would have to give to the 15 year Pinot Noir, but this is a Longrow Red, and they are all pretty similar. If you’ve never had one before, I would recommend trying a pour first, because it is definitely not for everyone; and then if you like it as much as I do, seek out any bottles that you can find at a reasonable price, for which I believe the Octomore price range (~$300) is fair. It is THAT special.
