Its dark purple color is followed by notes of chocolate, espresso, blackberries and black raspberries. Medium to full-bodied with excellent concentration, sweet tannin and an impressive finish, it should drink well for 5-7 years.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tA new estate for me, Bodega Bressia-s proprietor, Walter Bressia, has been in the Argentine wine trade for nearly three decades. My favorite of Bressia-s three white wines, the 2010 Lagrima Canela ($50 a bottle) was too expensive to be included in this report, but it-s a killer wine. A barrel-fermented blend of 70% Chardonnay and 30% Semillon, it is a rich, textured, honeyed effort displaying notes of figs, melons, mangoes and other tropical fruits. I tasted two other Bressia wines that were priced too high for this report, the 2009 Profundo (50% Malbec, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% each Merlot and Syrah); ($40.00; 92 points) and the prodigious 2009 Conjuro (50% Malbec, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot); ($120.00; 96 points).\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Issue #208, August 2013),\u003cstrong\u003e 90 pts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bressia Winery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948793557039,"sku":"AR0EE157031MBM","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/Bressia_Monteagrelo_malbec_bottle_a594fe1d-f898-44bb-a6cd-4044eaa1548b.jpg?v=1771483618","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/bressia-monteagrelo-malbec-2011","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
