Wednesday, May 8, 2024 - As soon as the cork is pulled, the '20 Cos shows a reticent but characterful nose of boysenberry, pomegranate, and plum with a slightly spicy edge, gaining and astonishing aromatic generosity, voluptuous bordering on corpulent with an hour of air yet never becoming top-heavy. Very cool and intense in the 2020 way, dry extract and plenty of tannin but with the acid to match. By 12 hours, the pomegranate coming tot he fore with an exotic spice element and shaved pencil. Finishing well. Muscled and fat simultaneously, like a sumo wrestler. 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 13.5% ABV on the bottle.

95-96, drinking from around age 25
