CHATEAU COS D'ESTOURNEL 2009 |

Château Cos d'Estournel 2009 St. Estèphe, 2ème Cru Classé1 label very slightly marked65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc. At first, this was very tarry and concentrated with lashings of black fruit. In 2013, a touch 'oceanic' on the nose. Enormous wine. So 'iodé'. Wet earth. Super extraction and very tannic. Slightly atypical, if you compare it with the stunning classicism of the 2010.
