JAMES SUCKLING 95 POINTS - "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."

VINOUS 94 POINTS - "The 2022 Malbec Bramare Luján de Cuyo comes from a selection of vineyards in the region. Aged for 18 months in barrels, 20% new, it offers aromas of cedar, candied plum and cherry, with a slightly spicy trace of tobacco and violet. The oak lends volume and a velvety texture to the fine tannins, while the finish shows clear barrel notes intertwined with red fruit. This is very Luján de Cuyo, with a long, soft finish. This is an easygoing yet nuanced red." - Joaquin Hidalgo

Winemaker Notes - The color is deep violet red. There are intense aromas of sour cherry, cassis and strawberry that lead in to notes of caramel, clove, cinnamon, white pepper and graphite, accented by mint and rosemary. The palate is smooth with elegant, yet firm, tannins and intense flavors that continue to develop and evolve.
