Really can't fault this Malbec. Always look to see if it is on offer and stock up. First choice when all the family visit.

A drinkable wine but not as good as I had hoped.I probably would not buy it again.
A true favourite.

I first discovered this wine when it was part of a mixed case. It became an instant favourite. When the mixed case was no longer available, I continued to buy cases of Artesano on it's own. It is full bodied and very fruity. I would recommend it for steak dinners and hearty casseroles, but it is too good to cook with!

The 2011 is not as complete as some of its predecessors, but is still a vert good everyday drinking Malbec for the cost through the Tesco.
Not as good as I expected

This Malbec didn't come up to expectation. Maybe it was too young.

This is hearty stuff with lots of possibilities, so I took it to a friends' place and cooked them a reasonably hot and spicy curry and it carried off the accompaniment with no problem. So much for those who only think it can be cold lager with Asian food! In fact it was lot more than that. It’s a very tasty all-round bottle that goes well with any substantial red meat dish or a smelly cheese-board for after-pud’. Plenty of fruit and holds up the end for these Argentinian Malbecs much in the same way as Chilean Carmenere is so highly regarded. It’s hard to see how it would disappoint anyone and at the reduced price is definitely worth 4*.
A decent Malbec

This wine is everything you could wish for in terms of fruit, body and general pleasure! Well worth stashing some away - certainly one of my all time favourites.
Delicious!

I bought this wine after tasting it in one of my favourite restaurants and was please to find it on Tesco website! It's not too heavy, great with red meat or even just for a couple of glasses on its own. The whole family love it and will definitely be buying again.
made a good choice
