Reviews and Ratings

Greg Hughes rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

For those who love Argentine Malbec or big Chilean reds, this is a really interesting offering. Côt is just a synonym for Malbec in the Southwest of France. The reason for the name change is the styling. The intention is a more firm aromatic wine than the generous and fruity Malbecs on the other side of the Andes. It is a nod to Malbec's ancestral home, in Cahors.
It has a dash of 5% Cabernet Franc to really emphasize the aromatic firmness. Look for aromas of chicory, lavender, smoke, currant, plum, cranberry, and blueberry. There are some whisps of menthol and earth too. As it breathes, the fruit become much more forthcoming and interesting. This needs cellar time / at least 30 minutes in a decanter.
Hot, high altitude viticulture in Maipo ensure concentration and ripeness. They cropped low yoelds to ensure quality, as well. This wine was sourced from a single estate called the Liguai estate. It saw 50% new oak and 50% used French oak. The alcohol is not particularly high, but it still maintains full body.
The palate is much better after decanting. It is quite firm upon opening. Lots of dark fruit, dried herb, and pain grille on the finish. Blackberry, plum, coffee, smoke, and prune after a time open. Anise, and some chestnut funkiness. Decent finish.
This is a cool offering from a producer that put the effort in to craft something different than your typical Malbec. This could age for at least 5-7 years. Put it with lamb moussaka or beef sliders. Reviewer's choice.

From the Maipo Valley, Pérez Cruz Limited Edition Cot (2015) is an estate bottled, medium-bodied red. Côt is another name for Malbec. This very fresh style and modern version of this wine is 95% Côt and 5% Cabernet Franc. Drink now and for the next three years. - Community Wine Reviews
