Liked this better than the Dona Paula Malbec Shiraz (this had better length and was just more balanced). Notes of plum, blackberry, a little black currant , and some pepper & spice. Pretty dry, with good length. A very solid anytime bottle, and would pair well with plenty of meat dishes and BBQ.

Dark purple, almost black. Vanilla and balck fruit on nose, black cherry liqueur on palate, with a long spicy finish. A lot of wine for the money, it could use a little more time in the bottle.

So who would have thought a 17 dollar wine would pack so much punch. A big wine. Cherries on the nose. A good finish too. Got this on the advice of a book I received for Xmas. Great advice. Had with Chinese fondue. Cut through the different sauces extremely well. I'm really starting to enjoy Argentinian wines.

London Wine Fair - day three (London): Purple, vivid colours - cherries, red fruit. A sweet attack on the palate but tannins keep the fruit in check. BBQ wine, but good quality for £10

Pleasant malbec with sweet black raspberries, spice, vanilla. A bit over the hill though.

Smokey aromatic nose. Nice acidity. Great flavors through a decent finish. Wish I had more. Tasty stuff

A bit restrained even after decanting but it was a hit with the dinner crowd. Dark fruit but balanced with tannins. Great value.

Generous, with a good structure. Dark fruits, some tannins and silky feel. Pairs nicely with meats.
