98+/100Joaquin Hidalgo,Vinous
The 2023 Malbec marks Cobos's 25th harvest since 1999, as there was no 2001 because of the weather that year. This blends 58% Uco Valley fruit with 42% from Luján de Cuyo, yielding complexity within the context of a hot and dry growing season. Ripe plum, blackberry and delicate cherry mingle with balsamic herbs, all held within a gentle cigar box frame. Still very primary, the palate is taut and somewhere between plushness and grip. It's slightly less broad than other vintages, delivering energy through the middle and juiciness on the finish. This is an elegantly resolved wine for a difficult year and will gain nuance with time.
