"2006 Clos de Los Siete is rich and concentrated, with notes of liquorice and plums and a lot of oak. To me, this blend of 50 per cent Malbec with Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet is not what the Uco Valley does best, but there's no denying its appeal."

"I adore this wine, says Corbett. "It's so full, rich and spicy. The bottle, too, is very handsome, with a wonderfully confident air about it." Produced in Mendoza from Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet and Syrah, it is the ideal match for a big, fat, juicy steak."

"Lots of blackcurrant, plum and damson fruit, not to mention a thwack of spicy vanilla oak. Impressive stuff with steak or lamb, but not for the faint-hearted."
