...very deep and intense fruit character, yet rich tannins to back it all up. Full-bodied, layered and powerful.
Dense and full of dark fruits...blackberry fruits and rich, generous tannins, the wine has weight and concentration. The freshness at the end is so typical of the vintage.
...incense, graphite, and hints of flowers...medium to full-bodied, rounded, beautifully textured effort...
This has good energy, with a light briar note through the mix of raspberry, plum and cherry paste flavors. Subtle chalk and iron streaks add texture and cut on the finish.
Pliant and inviting, yet also medium in body... Grilled herb, tobacco, menthol, chocolate, licorice and black cherry are all seamless in this silky, open-knit second wine from Cos d'Estournel.
Sweet and round on the nose. Good attack with tea-leaf flavour. Dry finish. Very appetising and well mannered without being at all flashy. Builds pretty well on the finish. Admirably persistent.
This is a second label of Cos d'Estournel
