Lisa Perrotti-Brown for Robert Parker

"The 2018 Cos d'Estournel has a powerful nose with aromas of crème de cassis, plum compote, wild blueberries and chocolate-covered cherries, followed by nuances of Sichuan pepper, star anise, tree and clove oils and a hint of charcoal. The full-bodied palate is concentrated with taut, muscular black fruits and earthy layers , framed by super-firm, ripe, grainy tannins and endless freshness, and finishes very long and wonderfully earthy."
