90 Points

Friday, January 1, 2010 - Level well into neck, cork very sound and stained to 1/3 length. Audouzed 3 hours, decanted another hour. Despite all this, seems to be cracking up. You still get that Cos combination of elegance and rusticity, but with nothing lively remaining. Raspberry, strawberry, earth, camphor, creosote show up at various times; finish resonates in sinuses but not elsewhere. Can't speak for other bottles, but this one would have been better consumed 5 or more years ago. Rating reflects obvious pedigree fallen from grace.
