2014 Bressia Profundo - 90+ PTS - VINOUS

vinous logo"(14.5% alcohol; aged for 12 months in French oak): Healthy medium red. Pungent aromas of black raspberry, cassis, redcurrant, mocha and licorice, with some distinct Cabernet leafiness. Fine-grained, suave wine with noteworthy intensity and well-judged extraction. Some leafy and peppery notes add to the wine's complexity without overshadowing its dark fruit flavors. Finishes with slightly dusty, herbal tannins, notes of licorice and herbs and very good rising length. This nicely sappy 2014 is still youthfully wound up and needs another year or two in bottle. It should age well. - Stephen Tanzer"

wa91"The oaky, spicy and smoky 2014 Profundo, a red blend of Malbec with 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% each Merlot and Syrah, was first produced in 2001, and it has kept a classical profile, perhaps with a little less influence of the élevage (12 months in oak barrels). The fruit is ripe and comes through as very tasty. 15,000 bottles produced. It as bottled in February 2017. - Luis Gutiérrez"

tim atkin logo 250"Profundo was the first wine that Walter Bressia made at his own winery and it’s still one of his best. Combining Malbec with 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% each of Merlot and Syrah, it’s plush and intense with classic Agrelo texture framed by sweet oak and underpinned by acidity. 2019-26"

2015 Bressia Profundo - 91 PTS - VINOUS

vinous logo"Bright medium ruby-red. Vinous, high-pitched scents of crushed blackberry, violet and minerals. Dense, fine-grained and suave, with its dark berry and saline mineral flavors energized by an element of herbal lift. There's a wildness here that contributes complexity and personality. This sexy Bordeaux-style blend finishes with firm but suave tannins and excellent length. - Stephen Tanzer"

2016 Bressia Profundo - 91 PTS - TA

tim atkin logo 250"Profundo is an Agrelo/Vista Flores blend of Malbec with the remaining 50% made up of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. Ripe, plush, glossy and assertively oaked in 50% new wood, this is a wine that still needs a year or two in bottle. Plum, blackberry and mocha flavours combine appealingly on the palate."
