Lisa Perrotti-Brown for Robert Parker

"The 2017 Cos d'Estournel reveals beautiful aromas of plums, boysenberries, blackcurrant pastilles and wild blueberries with hints of Indian spices, menthol, lilac and mossy tree bark, as well as a convincing hint of iron ore. On the palate it is medium to full-bodied, with a solid backbone of firm, grainy tannins and a well-integrated freshness that supports the concentrated fruit layers, and finishes long and aromatic."
