People go on about it to me, and I often struggle to see what all the fuss is about.
Yes, the Catena's make some good ones.
But so often a Malbec is very one-dimensional.
Masses of fruit, high alcohol, they overwhelm the palate and then are gone in less than thirty seconds.
Clearly I've not been drinking the right stuff.
This Septimo Dia Malbec Mendoza 2009 I tried recently definitely bucks that trend.
Much longer-lasting than the usual, its has a finesse and complexity I was very pleasantly surprised at.
This UK wine site has it at less than £11, which for that price is amazing value.
