Description
The 2007 Cos d'Estournel is blended of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. It has a deep garnet-brick color and the nose reveals quite a lot of evolution—more than the previous six vintages tasted before it in this tasting—with notes of prunes, figs, chargrill and dried herbs plus hints of raisin cake, leather, balsamic and incense. Medium-bodied, refreshing and mature in the mouth, it delivers a good concentration of savory/spicy flavors and an herbal lift on the finish. It should remain at this evolutionary plateau for the next decade, before it begins to decline.

Tasting note
2006年的愛詩圖爾酒莊展現了聖愛斯特弗的宏偉風格。這款酒呈現深邃的深紅寶石色澤，散發出濃郁的黑加侖子和咖啡香氣。口感上，新鮮的酸度提升了鮮明的黑醋栗果味，而柔滑的結構則支撐著豐富的果實風味。中段口感逐漸展開，帶出咖啡和可可脂的複雜層次，酒精的平衡與長久、開放且迷人的尾韻相得益彰。這款既內斂又故意強調感官的酔人美酒，如同遠方故事和異國香料的低語，非常適合那些喜愛有故事的葡萄酒的鑑賞家。
The 2006 Chateau Cos d'Estournel is a testament to the grandeur of Saint-Estephe. This wine, with its deep, dark ruby-red hue, unfolds a tapestry of intense cassis and aromatic coffee notes. On the palate, it boasts a fresh acidity that elevates the vivid blackcurrant fruit, while a velvety structure underpins the fruit richness. Mid-palate complexities of coffee and cocoa-butter emerge, leading to a balanced alcohol presence and a long, open, and attractive finish. A wine that is both demure and sensuously full-bodied, it is a nectar that tells tales of distant lands and exotic spices, perfect for those who appreciate a wine with a story.
