OK for uncritical drinking but not more, even at the low price pleased I only bought 3 bottles and that this is the last, life is too short and there is so much better wine available, just not my thing, heavy, rich, coarse, no finesse or lift, tiring

A nose of dark fruit and some spice, dark purple in color. A medium to full bodied red, with blackberry, cassis, cocoa and spice on finish, a bit disjointed. www.winelx.com

rich fruit, basic style, reflects its price, no real complexity or even particular interest, nothing faulty but not at all memorable, no idea how Decanter managed to give it 95 points - just no way

The Decanter rating of 95 makes no sense. It's a very nice wine, but that rating is highly suspect. Overall, not a favorite, but very pleasant. Enjoyed with a Greek themed meal of avgolemeno, grilled lamb, and Gigantes beans. Although it's a 2013, it still seemed young and benefited greatly from long breathing. Pepper and fruit on the nose and palate. Flavors of cherry, plum, and a hint of bell pepper. Tannins do not seem fully integrated, but are light enough to provide some acidity without being overwhelming. Medium mineral finish. Many other Argentine Malbecs in this price point as good or better.

overall rich, fruity, easy drinking style, interesting sweet fruit nose, good balance, no sediment, perfect for a social evening when it is grab and pour (or rough transport), would also make a good wine for around the barbecue, no hard edges and easy to drink now, no need to wait

Agree with earlier reviews questioning oddly high Decanter score. Nothing wrong here, just ordinary Mendoza Malbec. Good value for low price.

A competent but unremarkable Malbec. I don't undertand the 95 score from Decanter.

One of my personal favorites! A very good wine at a value price. Fruit forward, plum notes with an extremely smooth finish.

A little tart and without much depth on night 1. Tartness mellows and there's more complexity and balance on day 2, definitely improved.
