Variant

Lisa Perrotti-Brown for Robert Parker

The 2016 Cos d'Estournel opens slowly and seductively to reveal beautiful lilac, rosehip tea, gravel and camphor nuances over a core of crème de cassis, kirsch, wild blueberries, mocha, plus hints of incense and wood smoke. The palate is charged with an energy and depth of flavours that seem to defy the elegance and ethereal nature of its medium-bodied wine. With super-ripe tannins that firmly frame the myriad of fruit and floral accents, it finishes with epic length. Simply magical .
