Château Cos d'Estournel 2005

St. Estèphe, 2ème Cru Classé

Levels just into neck or better, excellent appearance

Coffee beans and raspberries on the nose. Great explosion of fruit on the palate, the natural concentration of this vintage. Super silky texture and a huge blackcurrant taste and heart to it. Very elegant and very fine. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
