"Nobody's claiming that this muscular malbec is sophisticated, but it's solid, warming and well made. From leading Argentine producer Catena, it boasts lashings of oak and chunky black berry fruit." Review by Anthony Neather, The Evening Standard
"Argentina's malbec grape makes this beautifully dense wine with lovely, spicy depth to the blackberry and blackcurrant fruit. At just £5 its quite a bargain too." Review by Jamie Goode, The Sunday Express
"Despite clinging on in Cahors in south-west France, malbec has now made Argentina – specifically, high-altitude Mendoza – its home. The climate and soil suit it perfectly here and wines of great style, typified by subtle aromas of violets, are now being made. This example, made by the leading winery, Catena, is full and fruity, with plenty of robust blackberry and blueberry flavours. Perfect with a rare slab of steak" Review by Jonathon Ray, The Telegraph
"Not as fine as the Esperanza Malbec, but any of you wedded to your Tesco Clubcard will want to know that this is a pleasant, dark, tannic, roasted red meats suitable malbec with lots of satisfying spicy, inky, fruit." Review by Jane MacQuitty, The Times
£4.75 a bottle
