among cobos's high-end 2011 malbecs, this one comes across as the most complete, layered and complex of the group. aromas of fine oak and pencil lead augment blackberry and baked plum scents. the mouthfeel is smooth, round and rich, while flavors of tea, savory spices and black fruits dance long into the night. a ripe but not too heavy finish is earthy, calm and complete. drink through 2019.
