Vina Cobos Bramare Lujan de Cuyo Malbec 2022

95 Points James Suckling 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.

94 Points Jeb Dunnuck With a more floral profile compared to the Bamare Valle De Uco, the 2022 Malbec Bramare Lujan De Cuyo is purple with electric pink highlights and initially offers notes of crushed mixed berries, but as it opens, the aromatic profile becomes more layered with fresh herbs and sweet perfume. It’s a full-bodied red with a supple texture, silky, ripe tannins, and a clean finish.

92 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 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.

90 Points Wine Spectator There's a generous vanilla bean and cocoa cast to this red, with floral plum and cherry flavors at the core, plus subtle herb and pepper twinges on the smooth finish.
