Nick, the bite you mention is usually associated with young wines that need more time in the cellar to complete their maturity process, oak integration, etc. etc. Many everyday wines (Malbec or otherwise) sometimes show these traits.

Apart from Lopez, you should also look into the wines of Bodega Benegas, IMHO one of the best producers in Argentina.
