The 2016 Bressia Conjuro is half Malbec with 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot from the Uco Valley and was aged for 18 months in new French barrels. The cool year sets the tone in the nose with austere aromas of fresh plum, herbs and spices. The aging process’ contribution takes the form of sweet spices. The freshness combines with a voluminous flow in the mouth that delivers generous but measured helpings of flavor along with the pleasantly grippy tannins. The finish is built around an unusual degree of freshness that lends extra tension and depth.
