  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.
