Viña Cobos - Cobos Chañares Estate Malbec 2019 (750ml)

Winemaker Notes Bright in color with pleasant violet tones. On the nose it is fresh, concentrated, with notes of thyme, jarilla and ripe blackberries. The tannins are velvety but firm. Good body and a lingering finish. Critical Acclaim JS98 James Suckling Purple fruit with black licorice, white pepper and cloves. Full-bodied with layers of chewy and polished tannins and a great finish. Sage undertones to the minerals. Chalky and structured. Great finish. Needs three or four years of bottle age. Give it time to soften. WS93 Wine Spectator Generous, delivering a ripe berry and plum core seated on a plush frame, with underbrush and abundant spice notes folding in. The fruit never quits and continues to linger, even after a wave of chocolate mousse chimes in on the finish around suave tannins. Drink now through 2030.
