A nice Malbec, especially for under twenty bucks. A bit weak on the nose with some blackberry, currant and spice notes. First taste is surprisingly lush with a lot of fruit. Some acidity and a short finish with a hint of tannin.

Blackberry, currant, subtle oak on the nose. Well structured with nicely integrated tannins and a smooth finish to this purple Malbec. Quite nice indeed.

Good stuff. Holds up to the chili cook-off at which it was served.

Great value Malbec, can't really go wrong. Not astonishing but won't let you down either given some time to open up. Well balanced, plummy & dark berries coming through.

Fruity to start with a strong finish. If I had to choose however, my preference would be Punto Final. Si! Me gusta esta vino!
