93- a special wine- deep, dark color, decanted multiple times, there was a lot of sediment, breathed for 2 1/2 hours and softened as evening progressed. Dark fruit, blueberry, blackberry, chocolate, beautiful bouquet, nice finish. Still very young but full of character and look forward to having again.

100- this is the first time we have ever rated a wine 100. dinner at Winvian- uncorked for 1/2 hour then decanted for total of two hours. While this wine is still very young with soft tannins, it was a spectacular wine. It had a deep, dark color, beautiful ripe dark black fruit, coffee, earth and a wonderful depth of bouquet and flavor, with a long finish.This was a very special experience; the wine enhanced the very special dinner.

I'm in love with this wine. Breathed 3 hours, decanted for the last 2 hours and it continued to open throughout dinner. There's a soft, elegant, and lovely bouquet, medium finish, black fruit, a jammy taste of black fruit, chocolate, a touch of mint. This is one special wine! Can't wait to enjoy again,

2007 Château Cos d'Estournel

St. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more

Like the 2006 we just posted a tasting note on.... Do not open yet. Infanticide. Decanted for 4 hours and was still opening up during the evening.

A bit unfair given it was the last bottle tasted of the evening and went after

1966 Lataur
1983 Lafite
1996 Cos
2006 Cos

So basically it had no chance. Zero. Given that it still exhibited the usual Cos profile and given enough time will be able to hold its own.

Way too young. 3 hour decant was not enough. Infanticide. Do not open. Or if you choose to do so decant for a hours and hours and hours.....

This will be an amazing wine if you let it age.

Intact cork. Wine stored properly since it was bought at its market introduction.

Nice nose. Medium finish. Some fruit. Tannins well tapered. Improved as the evening progressed.

A great experience.

Amazing wine. Great surprise. In spite of the ullage a great wine. Great experience that got better as the evening progressed.

Popped the cork. Bottle was perfectly stored since it was bought when it first hit the market. Great nose that signaled everyone that this was was going to be amazing. Color was dark and beautiful. First taste on the palate was fruit with a nice backbone with enough tannins to support it.

The fruit was plentiful given its age. Beautiful finish. This was just an elegant wine and a true expression of what can be done. A truly spectacular experience.

Still with a lot of life to it.
Medium nose. Nice finish. Decanted for 3 hours and improved as the evening progressed. Beautiful fruit well balanced tannins with the typical Cos finish.
Can't wait to see this wine in another few years.

Dinner at Bistro Rollin- 96- wonderful, special wine, beautiful bouquet and taste- black fruit, blueberry, strawberry, plum, long finish, very young- 3 hours before dinner we decanted more times than we counted, at dinner we poured back and forth from the glasses innumeral times and WOW! It showed its beauty, "sweetness" and enhanced the senses. WHAT AN EXPERIENCE! While it's too young, it's not going to be possible to wait very long for the next bottle.

7/14/2013 - Coffeecup Likes this wine: 93 points

I adore this wine. Decanted for 1 hour and it would benefit from a longer decant. There is a beautiful, dark violet color, blackberry, red fruit, chocolate, plum, spice, wonderful mid palate, the bouquet is somewhat restrained for now. There is a gentleness about the wine. It is not ready to drink; there is a lot of tannin. I look forward to getting older along with this wonderful, special wine.
