Château Cos d'Estournel--Vintage 2001
Saint-Estèphe, 2me cru classé. Château-bottled
Tasting note: A beautiful effort, the 2001 Cos d'Estournel (65 Cabernet Sauvignon and 35 Merlot) exhibits a poised, noble bouquet of black currants, cedar, spice box, and licorice. A hint of truffles emerges as it sits in the glass. Medium-bodied with sweet fruit (mostly black) and nicely integrated wood, it builds incrementally in the mouth, ending with a 50-second finish. Drink this stylish, restrained yet substantial claret over the next 15+ years. 93 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #153, April 2004
