Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Lawrence Wong 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.
Bright ruby-red. Dark fruits, chocolate, roasted herbs and licorice on the nose, with attractive spicy lift. Sweet and seamless but energetic, with good lift to the spicy blackberry and violet flavors. This dense, smooth wine finishes with serious broad tannins and very good length.
