Benegas Single Vineyard Malbec 2021

Haruki Sato — Interesting change from the usual

7/10

I normally just grab whatever Malbec is on offer at the supermarket so this was a step up for me. You can definitely taste the difference — there's a spicy thing on the finish that I really liked, and it feels more serious somehow. Good but not sure my wallet agrees on a regular basis.

Isabella Rossi — Perfect with steak night

8/10

Had this with a ribeye on Saturday and it was brilliant. Really bold blackberry and plum flavours that stood up to the meat perfectly. The tannins are firm but smooth — not that drying thing you sometimes get. Worth the money.

Marco Andretti — Birthday treat that delivered

7/10

Got this as a birthday present from a friend who knows I like Argentine reds. It's a proper grown-up wine — dark fruit, good balance, spice on the finish. Shared it over a roast lamb and it was spot on.
