Château Cos d'Estournel 2003 (6 BT)

Château Cos d'Estournel 2003  

St. Estèphe, 2ème Cru Classé 

u. 6bn, 1 slightly scuffed label 

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
