Saturday, August 16, 2008 - I taste this wine in Takashimaya, Osaka, Japan. Opened 2 hours.
There is no '' muddy '' typical smell of Cos. The wine shows strongly chocolate scent, blueberry, some flowers, clean and deep beautiful bouquet...so different from the modern type 2000.
The body...Wowww...very smooth, elegant, perfect balance, very complex. Some amount of beautiful fine tannin but not tannic...really beautiful texture and the sommerlier in Takashimaya feels the same. Surprisingly ready to drink.
The best part is aftertaste : it builds up and follows the wine immediatly...robust down very smooth, very stable but very big and long too. This is new type of finished, I never met before...I wait for its return but no sign of coming back...That's amazing !!!
The real deep impact....95-96/100....
