This wine looks, smells and tastes big, dark and clunky. Worst of all, the flavor seems disjointed - though I can't quite put my finger on why. thumbs down - 70

2009 La Finca Malbec - $3.99
Swirl as I might, I get absolutely nothing on the nose. Mellow, slightly tannic taste of beets and plum. Could probably use more decanting than the two hours I gave it. Serviceable, especially for a $4 wine, but you can do better.thumbs down - 73

2007 Bodega Septima Malbec - $9.49
Usually I have enough time between opening a bottle and finishing a bottle to jot down some notes or remember some smells and flavors. That wasn't the case here, which I can only deduce as meaning this wine was delicious and drinkable with my dinner of steak and brussels sprouts. I'll get another bottle and revisit this review with some better details, but for now...thumbs up - score TBD
