L'avis des experts
There is a new top of the range produced with pure Malbec from a very small plot in the Cordón El Cepillo. It's a cool place with a small slope in a mostly flat vineyard with very different soils and angular stones in a place that has glacier moraine, which is completely different from the rest of the vineyard. It makes the grapes ripen much earlier and gives a very strict and stony wine with a textured palate with abundant dusty tannins. 2016 was a super cold and rainy year, and the 2016 As Bravas Malbec has only 12.5% alcohol and incredible freshness. It's only medium-bodied with gobsmacking balance and is incredibly harmonious, nuanced and subtle, with all that it needs for a very long life in bottle. This is serious, tight, austere and incredibly elegant. It matured in 2,000-liter oak foudres for some 60 months. It was bottled in April 2022.
Savory tobacco, dark truffles, undergrowth and a hint of cedar to the black fruit. Super succulent and energetic on the palate, which has a rapid, brisk feel to it. Racy acidity gallops across the mineral and transparent palate. Long, linear and super delicious. A unique malbec with a huge contrast between the savory nose and austere palate. Drink or hold.
