Château Cos d'Estournel 2003 (24 HB)

Château Cos d'Estournel 2003

St. Estèphe, 2ème Cru Classé

This has nearly 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, which is high for Cos. It is a landmark vintage at this property, with its great aromatic bouquet and exotic, yet perfectly structured taste. More recently, unbelievably "salty", maritime/minerally nose, so redolent of the best sites of St. Estèphe. Plummy/irony taste. Beautiful structure overlaid by luscious fruit. Now the "star" St. Estèphe in this vintage that so favoured the appellation. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
