2008 Chateau Cos-d‘Estournel 2eme cru classe St-Estephe AOC,
Château Cos d'Estournel
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
The 2001 Cos d'Estournel is blended of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Merlotùa very high percentage of Merlot in this vintage and a very late harvest, which started on October 1st. Deep garnet in color, the nose is singing with savory notes of smoked meats, tapenade, bay leaves and beef drippings with a core of plum preserves, redcurrant jelly, dried cherries and baked blackcurrants with wafts of peppermint tea and dried roses. Medium-bodied, the palate practically tingles with vibrant dried herbs, red fruit preserves and minty notes, structured with firm, finely grained tannins and fantastic freshness, finishing very long and minerally.
