October 3, 2015 - Coravin'ed. Dark rubis colour. On the nose, it is clearly of the Cos d'Estournel family. Open! Aromas of dark fruit with metallic overtones, coffee, slightly toasted bread and menthol. On the palate, the attack is frank but ripe with the same aromas as on the nose. Good length et fruit and coffee. Good balance, can be drunk now.
Coravin'ed. Belle robe rubis noir. Au nez, c'est la famille de Cos d'Estournel… Ouvert! Fruits noirs "métalliques", café, pain légèrement grillé et une touche de menthol. En bouche, l’attaque est franche, mais mûre, avec une continuation en bouche. Bonne longueur d’une belle finale fruitée et de café. Bon équilibre, bonne longueur. 891 person found this helpful 4,263 views

We notched up a bit to 90 and made the following comments: "The people at Cos d'Estournel Goulee keep on rolling out the winners with this blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot. Its voluptuous, slightly soft yet full-bodied and offers a nose and palate of coffee, dark fruits and liquorice. Shockingly drinking well now, but will continue to get better for decades to come. Please we have several more bottles in the cellar."

We started an Around the World with Coravin pouring 150ml glasses (shared by 2 people) of 9 different wines yesterday (Argentina, Chile, China, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, South Africa and USA). We plan to test for the next 4+ weeks. Too much fun :-)
