This is my second time with this wine, and both bottles have been disappointing. The nose, with its cedar, citrus, spice, coffee, and earthy cranberry notes was more interesting than the tart, crisp, overly bright, cranberry and peppery herb tinged finish.

A 1959 birthday celebration. Opened 3 from. the year this Cos, Pichon Baron, and Ch. Latour. The Cos d'Estournel and the Baron were holding some fruit and gentle acidity with enjoyable flavors. Both came through better than the Latour.

From magnum. Still young on the nose with vanilla notes, light cinnamon, plums and faint cardamom. Light tannins remaining on the palate which is attractively bracketed by light tar, damp dark soil and black plum. Still improving after two hours

1959 dinner. Funky and thin.
