Community Tasting Note

• aerosol Likes this wine: 96 points

  May 7, 2021 - Opened last night at a Cos tasting with wines spanning from 1973 to 2018 and the 1995 was the wine of the evening and was in a dead heat with 1982
  The wine was professionally decanted several hours earlier at the Wine Watch and we went through a vertical, Beyond a doubt, the 95 was in a great place, The nose was floral, a little green, and vanilla oak. Inspecting the color and the 95 showed no visible sign of age. The palate was filled with a fresh swirl of dark black cherry, with hints of vanilla, mushroom, tobacco, earth, and pencil lead going down with enough tannins and enough light acidity for a finish that is till tight, but very elegant. This was my #1 Cos of the evening followed by the 1982, 2000, 2005, and 2010. 2009 drank like a good California wine and the 2018 is approachable and I think is the Cos to buy now.
  Cos 1995 is in an excellent spot and I strongly recommend you try it if it's in your collection because it's in an amazing place

  My advice is to open the bottles at different times and have 1 opened 1 hours and 3 hours decanted before drinking; definitely not PnP! This will give you a chance to see how the wine evolves through the evening, I made the comment on the wine after 4 hours of being opened, so seriously enjoy yourselves. Cheers!
