2007 Viña Cobos Malbec
Community Tasting Note
I'd Rather Be Drinking Wine Likes this wine:
Thursday, April 14, 2022 - Guys Night - Anything Goes Blind!: Decanted for 4 hours - served double blind to others (this was my wine, so I knew what it was). What can I say about this wine I have not already said....for me, this is hands down the best Malbec I have ever had and one of the best wines, period. For my palate, it shows plenty of fruit and tertiary goodness. It is still drinking quite young (and will doubtlessly improve, but this was my last bottle, and I have no will power!
Not quite to the level as previous bottles, but still quite tasty! Nose is perfumed and palate shows lots of dark fruit, chocolate and sweet tobacco, with some earthiness, tar and leather notes, all framed in sweet, toasty oak. Both hedonistic and complex, this is an awesome wine for my palate.I definitely enjoyed this wine more than others, but as the saying goes....."Different strokes for different folks!" 96 for me tonight, and part of me wishes I had saved this bottle for a few years down the road!
