Ben says

★ Good Wine Definition is bursting with dark blackberries and spice with a slightly smoky aroma. It’s soft and full, spirited from punchy alcohol, and the tannins are soft and sweet. It has great typicity and is a reliable choice for Malbec fans.

This Malbec is a good bet with grilled meats, as you’d expect, but it’s also a surprisingly tasty choice with simple Italian pasta dishes too.
