Cos d'Estournel vertical

• 2007 Domaine Huet Vouvray Demi-Sec Le Mont

  Very nice. Some honey, wool, wax. Broad with good bracing acidity well underneath. Silky. Young. Long bright finish. A treat.

  Broad, friendly with a sweet and black center. Some acidic tannins. Smooth, round, soft. Fully mature. My #3 WOTN of the night.

  Tannins a little hard, especially compared to the 1985. Tar, black oak. Drinking well but on the young side. More complex but less friendly than the 1985.

  Lush, soft, rich, smooth, silky, velvet. No angles to it, this is pillow soft. Some dark coffee notes. Very easy to drink. Drinking very well right now. Lovely. My #2 WOTN.

  Solid with soft lush fruit and some grip. Lacks a little concentration but has very nice full fruit with a sweet core. Drinking well.

  Wonderfully put together. Great strong fruit that is also round and has a soft friendly side. Great integration. Good balance with sweet fruit, dark notes and tannins. My WOTN.

• 2000 Château Cos d'Estournel

  France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Estèphe

  Strong, muscular, somewhat closed and a little hard. Long fine tannic finish with a hint of blueberry. Young, this is a hold. Score withheld. This could go somewhere.

  Sweet, modern and hot with notes of blueberry. Long fine tannins. Rich, big and sweet. Hold and hope it develops, but this is too modern for me. Could be in an awkward phase.
