Château Cos d'Estournel

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

9.5

Cherry,dried and black; scribbles of graphite in a tinder box. Campfire smoke, and dark tobaccos brood in clusters of black currant. Glints of plum skin and baked raspberries. Cinnamon and cedar shavings. Dried cherry and black berries persist into the palate, with green peppercorns and dried violets dusted in graphite. Smoke snakes around black bread with currants, fig and black raisins. A phenomenal fall treat. That’ll do the trick!

Nano hazelnut chocolate on coffee rye, blackened sponge cake, well done steak, black sesame, lavender and baked blackberry. Well knit.
Graphite glimmers on dark chocolate and cedar-oak slivers, smoky tobacco leaf, and tea. Immersive.

9.2

A hard, black knotted knee of bramble smolders. Dried blackberries crammed into its expressive creases. Black currants, dusty truffles, dried and flaking violets, touches of blueberry and raspberry. Horsehair and lilacs.
Courteously smooth with undulating tannins. Sensual. Black olive thoroughbred snorts through the smoldering, charcoal rears, graphite crackles, and tobacco and chocolate hybridize. Bridled with leather, and kid leather textures, rosemary wood, shrubbings and toothy-tart cranberry; Finish coaxing even the imaginative sense.
