Château Cos d'Estournel--Vintage 1990
Saint-Estèphe, 2me cru classé
Tasting Note: The 1990 will charm tasters with its flashy display of opulent Merlot (about 40 of the blend) mixed with ripe Cabernet Sauvignon. It was one of the more forward 1990s in the tasting, which no doubt accounted for its precocious showing. This super-concentrated wine possesses a roasted herb, sweet, jammy black fruit-scented nose, with noteworthy opulence and succulence. Pure and full-bodied, this concentrated wine conceals more tannin than it is presently revealing. The wine is open, flattering, and impossible to resist. It will continue to mature for 15-20 years. Last tasted 11/96. 95 Points. Robert Parker. Bordeaux Book 3rd Edition (1998)
