2009 Château Cos d'Estournel
Community Tasting Note
jmoon Likes this wine:
92 Points
Friday, May 1, 2020 - It’s a mess.. with potential. Burly, Broad shouldered and brambly. I bet this was great fun in 2013, where it probably got its high points, but now, despite a 3 hour double decant, in awkward transition. Neither charming nor poetic, this is a street fighter looking for a fight. Quite un-Cos. Will hold on to my others hoping for a transformation in 5-10, which is quite on the cards.
