Second Growth. Deuxieme Grand Cru Classe in 1855.
Expert tasting note: "Deep, dark, inky ruby-red. The nose is rich with chocolate, cedar and vivid cocoa aromas overlying ripe dark black-cherry fruit. The palate shows attractive spicy oak. Weighty tannins are rounded, soft & quite supple for the vintage. The fruit is ripe with black cherry & meaty aspects enlivened by sweet spices. The wine lasts well in the mouth, soft acidity leaving the fruit fresh. The finish displays lovely black-fruit & a touch of alcohol warmth." - 4/12 DCAMW

- Cos d’Estournel is slow to reveal itself. Little by little, it evokes stories of distant places, market stalls brimming with unfamiliar fruits, spices and wares, village festivities warmed by the joy of revelers and the setting sun, and sumptuous visions of ladies and their voluptuous curves. A myriad of scents, colors and tastes appeals to the senses. The Grand Vin of Cos d’Estournel is both demure and deliberately sensuous, a fascinating and elegant nectar.

Vintage quality: Poor

The 2011 Bordeaux vintage was generally poor in comparison to the brilliant 2010 and 2009.
The weather throughout the growing season was, frankly, freakish. Both the winter and spring were dry with the latter becoming unnervingly hot in places, prompting an extremely ear...
