Amantes trades on its iconic bottle design, credibly. For $58 fine is a ceiling. The 2.8

Tasting notes
Nose: Pear, then white smoke, wet clay
Palate: Light, a little watery, correct but unmemorable at 40% ABV
Finish: Faintly sweet. Stays short

A gift bottle where the packaging does most of the work
