TASTING NOTES FROM MARIANA
BENTEVEO CHARDONNAY '07

Great nose; delicate and expressive. Fruity. Softly buttery and toasty.

Well balanced, really smooth but nice acidity providing a crisp sensation.

Medium long finish with a pleasant bitter finish.

COCODRILO '06 CS

Fruty and softly peppery.. Good attack but tough tannins. Medium bodied. Medium long finish. Needing maybe some more bottle aging. Good P/Q relationship

FELINO '06 M

typical fruit varietal descriptors mixed with an oaky character. Good structure but again rather tough tannins. Like better , the attack and the mid palate than the finish...

BRAMARE APPELATION '05 LUJAN DE CUYO CS

Elegant nose, ripe figs and sweet chocolate. Love the attack, nice weight and softer tannings..but still very present.. great aging potential.

BRAMARE VINEYARD DESIGNATE '05 CS

Peppery but elegant nose. Balsamic.. less expressive but more delicate. Full bodied.. great structure.. lingering finish. A memorable wine!!
