There are certainly elements of new wood here, while the fruit gives sweetness and ripeness. The tannins hover between high toast and ripe Cabernet. To finish, there is ripe, black and juicy fruit.
Plums, meat and spices on the nose. Full body, with sweet fruit and soft tannins. Juicy finish.
Quite rich and sweet with an undertow of stoniness and tannin. A good, typical St-Estèphe. Excellent length.
This is a second label of Cos d'Estournel
