Tasting Notes: An icon of Viña Cobos, this Malbec displays extraordinary depth and elegance. On the nose, layers of ripe black fruits such as blackberries and plums unfold, along with notes of violets, graphite, cocoa, and sweet spices. On the palate, it is majestic: great concentration, firm yet velvety tannins, balanced acidity, and a silky texture. The finish is exceptionally long, mineral, and enveloping. A wine with soul, capable of evolving for years.
