Bramare Malbec 2013
Valle de Uco, Tunuyán, Central Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaA second look at this malbec three years down the road reveals it has barely aged. Grown at 3,330 to 3,845 feet above sea level on sandy rocky soils, its hand-harvested fruit is grown at San Carlos and Tupungato, in Valle de Uco. The low yields, 2 - 3.79 tons per acre, give it the fruit power to absorb the 17 months of ageing in 5 percent new French oak and 26 percent new American oak barrels, 69 percent into second year wood. The nose is alluring with stony, floral violet undertones, and silky long warm ripe cassis fruit lashed with licorice, vanilla, coffee and cola. It's just beginning to come into its own at five years of age, but will easily keep for another five years. A T-bone steak covered in chimichurri is the match.Tasted: 29 May 2018Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $55.00 | 750ml | select private retailers |
