February 8, 2024 - Wine was drinkable but on the decline, some bricking and sediment.

March 26, 2020 - Medium garnet in color, medium clarity. Clean nose, notes of cranberry, cherry, wet forest, wet stones.
Dry, light and lean but assertive on the palate. Red fruit flavors with a bit of prune and black olive. Acidity is medium plus. Reminds me of old world tempranillo and/or Alto Piemonte nebbiolo. Tannins are a bit dusty on the crisp and medium finish. -

December 20, 2018 - Tea, orange blossom, lemon peel and spices. Light and delicate but with som firmness on the finish. Definately not middle of the road at this age, but highly personal and very nice to drink. COS feels like a producer that doesn’t get the attention they deserve.
