Deep purple color. Very complex character with aromas of red fruit and violets with hints of spices. On the palate it has a very good structure, fresh acidity and fine grain tannins.
Vina Cobos Description
The 2022 vintage was positive for red varieties in terms of quality. A cold summer allowed progressive polyphenolic maturity, achieving high color intensity and concentration, especially in Malbec.
James Suckling: 95 Points
Super saturated from the color to the flavors and finish, this wine shows how concentrated and layered a malbec can be. The color is dark to the rim, the aromas boast blueberries, dark cherries and creme de cassis, and the flavors layer black fruit over spearmint, cocoa and graphite nuances. Full-bodied, firmly tannic and balanced for many more years of improvement.
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
Opening with an expressive, distinctly floral bouquet with blue- and black-fruited undertones, the 2022 Bramare Valle de Uco Malbec beautifully combines a compact yet dense texture with buoyant, effortless, floating lift. It concludes with a long, layered and tensile finish underpinned by a mineral-tinged core. This is a linear, focused counterpoint to the comparatively soft Bramare Luján de Cuyo Malbec bottling.
Vinous: 93 Points
The 2022 Malbec Bramare Valle de Uco blends grapes from a selection of vineyards across the Uco Valley. Twenty percent was aged for up to 18 months in oak barrels, while the remaining 80% was kept in tank. This purple-hued wine features notes of wet stone, black fruit, mint and blueberry, complemented by a fine layer of light oak. It is broad, smooth and concentrated on the palate, with a juicy mouthfeel that showcases wood nuances and a long, fruity finish. This lovely vintage balances concentration with freshness.
Wine Spectator: 90 Points
There's a decent amount of oak, but this red wears it well, offering a chocolaty cast offset by fresh Santa Rosa plum and raspberry flavors with a slight graphite bite. Finishes with savory and mocha notes around plush tannins.
