Lorca Lorca Malbec 2024
Red 14% ABV ABV LorcaDecent everyday Malbec
I drink a lot of Argentine Malbec and this is a respectable one. Nothing that'll blow your mind but it's structured well and the acidity keeps it from being too heavy. Would be better at a tenner but still reasonable enough to rebuy.
Solid weeknight red
Picked this up from Majestic on a whim and it's become my go-to for under £12. Really nice dark fruit on the nose, proper Malbec vibes. Goes down easy with a steak or even just pasta with a meaty ragu.
Good for the price
The wine shop guy recommended this when I said I wanted a Malbec under £15. It's well balanced and the finish is nice — keeps you coming back for another sip. At £11.75 it's fair value, not a steal but not a rip-off either.
Brought this to a dinner party
Needed something reliable for a Saturday dinner and this did the job perfectly. Smells great straight out the bottle, loads of dark berry fruit. 14% ABV so it's got a bit of weight to it which I like. Everyone had seconds.
Fine but nothing special
Had this at a friend's house and it was alright. Decent enough dark fruit flavour but I've had better Malbecs for similar money. Wouldn't turn it down but probably wouldn't buy it myself.
