Viña Cobos Bramare Marchiori Malbec 2015

BJ Oudman rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Just one of their vineyard designate Malbecs, this offering from Luján de Cuyo holds pedigree from the vineyard of Viña Cobos inaugural release back in 1999, the Marchiori estate. A dark violet core is the hiding place for intense ripe berries, garrigue and exotic spice. A fine example of integrated finesse and structure. Best enjoyed with leaner cuts of beef but suitable for Mediterranean influenced vegetarian dishes.

Brent Gushowaty rated this wine as 94/100 with the following review:

The wine shows a medium depth in the glass. The nose is full of soft ripe fruit aromas including black plum as well as a touch of charcoal and earth. On the palate, quite simply - it sings. It shows silky fruit, graphite, plum skin, and bass notes of dark berries. The seamless integration of flavours here is the keystone element. The finish is medium plus, soft and echoing.
