2022 Vina Cobos Bramare Lujan de Cuyo Malbec, Lujan de Cuyo, Argentina (750ml)

WINEMAKER'S NOTES: Intense ruby red with violet reflections. Aromas of red and black fruits with notes of sweet spices. On the palate it has concentration, sweet tannins, and a long finish. TASTING NOTES: Tight, intense and layered, this full-bodied wine can be appreciated now for its cocoa, blueberry and blackcurrant flavors, but will surely improve and gain complexity with time. Aged in 20% new oak, mostly barriques. Very fine-grained tannins wrap around deep blue and black fruit, with spearmint and dark chocolate buoyed by good acidity and showing great minerality in the finish. Best from 2028. - James Suckling, 95 pts.  Fermented in stainless steel and aged 18 months in 20% new French oak, the 2022 Bramare Luján de Cuyo Malbec opens with an inviting, soft and red-fruited bouquet with floral accents. The palate is svelte and richly saturated, transitioning to a refined, powdery finish. This is a precisely rendered and texturally pleasing example of Luján de Cuyo Malbec. - Wine Advoc
