Château Cos d'Estournel 1990
Saint-Estéphe, 2ème cru classé
In original wooden case. Good appearance. Levels: base of neck or better
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. Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book 3rd Edition (1998)
