Viña Cobos Chañares Estate Malbec 2019

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. [A wine that will benefit from another year in bottle (decant to drink tonight) and will provide a decade or more of enjoyment.] Score – 98. (jamessuckling.com, May 3, 2022)
