Tasting notes of a local wine lover without elegant literacy or web design. Just plain wine talk. By the same token I analyze the opened bottle with my senses, just at the very end I re-check the producer (I first checked it when bought it for sure!),vintage,terroir,and price. These data allow me to reconstruct the wine and trace a botton line.

Cobos Malbec 2007, a superstar to conquer everybody at first sip
Cobos Malbec 2007, By Bodega Viña Cobos, USD 200
www.vinacobos.com
A single vineyard malbec located in Perdriel Distric of Lujan de Cuyo Departament, Central Mendoza.
Astonishing malbec with elegance ,complexity and attractiveness enough to conquer any palate. This particular bottle showed a bit of detectable oxidation. In spite of that, you get a very attractive malbec with mostly black and red berries (which I´m used to look after in a more higher malbec like Uco´s) , black plums in sweet ripeness.
Much chocolate and vanilla from french oak. Soft spices like dry black peppercorn,sage and fresh mint. A 98 point malbec that looks better somewhere 4 to 8 years old to splash along some accents. A superstar to conquer everybody at first sip.
