A 0–100 expert rating: 80–84 good, 85–89 very good, 90–94 excellent, 95–100 classic. Higher means a more highly regarded wine.
80/100Good
Beware of funky labeled Malbecs because many don't have much to offer. Case in point, this candied, scratchy wine with wild, rampant fruit and not much else. Tastes like a jug wine.
