Vina Cobos Marchiori Estate Malbec
Vina Cobos Marchiori Estate Malbec is a prestigious single-vineyard Malbec from one of Argentina's most celebrated wineries. Sourced from the historic Marchiori Estate vineyard, home to cane-pruned vines over 50 years old, this wine represents the pinnacle of Argentine Malbec. Block C2 of this vineyard supplied the grapes for Vina Cobos' inaugural 1999 vintage, establishing the estate's legendary reputation. The vines form deep root systems in well-drained soils ranging from loamy-clay to loamy-sand, with layers of pebbles and rounded stones below the surface enhancing mineral complexity. Why You'll Love It This is world-class red wine from Vina Cobos, founded by renowned winemaker Paul Hobbs. Awarded 97 points by James Suckling and sourced from vines over 60 years old, this wine offers exceptional depth, structure and ageing potential. The historic Marchiori Estate vineyard has been instrumental in defining premium Argentine wine since Vina Cobos' founding. Aged 18 months in French and American oak, this is a collector-worthy bottle that will reward cellaring for years to come. Meet the Producer Vina Cobos, founded by acclaimed winemaker Paul Hobbs, is one of Argentina's most prestigious wineries, dedicated to producing world-class Malbec from exceptional vineyard sites. The Marchiori Estate has been central to their success since the inaugural 1999 vintage. Winemaking The Malbec is aged for 18 months in a combination of new French oak and second-use barrels (48% new oak), allowing rich fruit and structural depth to develop while maintaining balance and elegance. Tasting Notes Deep ruby red in colour with intense aromas of cherries, cedar and subtle graphite. On the palate, full-bodied, rich and rounded with a taut structure, chewy tannins and a long, persistent finish. Floral and perfumed with purple fruit, mushrooms and a hint of stems. Perfect Pairings Pairs beautifully with semi-hard cheeses, cured meats, lamb chops, grilled steaks and hearty meat stews. An exc
Volnay Premier Cru 'Les Taillepieds', Domaine de Montille 2017
Taillepieds is a class apart in Volnay - the Queen of Cote des Beaune reds, and a regular contender for elevation to Grand Cru. Gravel on limestone soils give a bracing salinity to the wines which help season the rolling waves of intense and varied aromas and flavours of a vineyard that includes vines over eighty years old. One of our most sought-after reds every Burgundy campaign, and with good reason. Of the vintage, winemaker Brian Sieve at de Montille says 2017 is built for serious pleasure, with svelte tannins and juicy structure holding plenty of strawberries and raspberries. Preferring to pick early when grapes still have two thirds tartaric acid, and only a third malic acid, he believes the domaine’s 2017 reds have the supple richness and concentration of 2016 with the quantity, acidity and primary red fruit profile of 2011. Easy to understand, balanced and graceful, with alcohol bordering 13%, 2017 is good news for drinkers and yet he sees nothing to suggest the wines won’t age well.
