James Suckling A tight and focused red with dried berry, chocolate and spice character. Medium to full body, firm tannins and a smoky, berry aftertaste. Rich finish. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate The 2014 Bramare Malbec Marchiori Vineyard was produced with fruit from a 50+-year-old vineyard in Perdriel, in the classical Luján de Cuyo district of Mendoza. It was produced and aged in a similar fashion as the rest of the Bramare single vineyard wines, aged in a majority of new oak to complete 19 months after the harvest. Ripe, round and lush, this is a textbook example of a ripe Malbec from Luján. There is also a lactic touch here, and some spicy oak and decayed violets that make it quite showy. This is ideal for one of those winter days when you feel like a big wine with hearty food. Power and balance.
