Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Dark skinned plums, cherry, cassis, prunes, dark chocolate and a touch of violet and minty herbaceous qualities at the end. Also some earthy red bell pepper and jammy dried fruit on the palate. Bright and tart for this Malbec with finely grated pepper on the top. Medium bodied, zesty and an earthy Malbec with high acidity and M+ tannins.

Subscriptions Trialto rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

La Posta is all about celebrating the local growers - i really like their Malbec's as I do find some from Argentina getting rather commercial in style - but not this beauty. A great wine for BBQ steak.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
