93 Points - James Suckling
A deep, stony, mineral bonarda with red cherries, blue fruit, graphite and some grilled herbs. Tight and juicy on the palate with firm but resolved tannins and a long, linear finish. Lovely austerity here.
92 Points - Vinous
The 2020 Bonarda is a blend featuring 15% Cabernet Franc and originates from El Mirador in Rivadavia and Gualtallary in the Uco Valley. It underwent a 15-month aging process in used foudres. A purple hue. The nose offers notes of raspberry and blackberry, combined with nuances of ashes and blood orange. Dry and juicy, the palate flows with a supple texture and fine-grained, light tannins that linger on the black fruit flavors. This represents a contemporary style of Bonarda.
91 Points - Robert Parker
Despite having similar alcohol levels and acidity and freshness parameters, the 2020 Bonarda comes through as riper than the 2019 I tasted next to it. It reveals some earthy tannins and a faint rusticity, inherent to the variety.
