2006 Chateau Cos d'Estournel
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.

The 2006 Chateau Cos d'Estournel is a wine that reveals itself slowly, offering a deep, dark ruby-red color that is almost opaque. The nose is intense with cassis fruit and aromas of coffee grounds. On the palate, it showcases lovely fresh acidity that lifts the vivid blackcurrant fruit, ensuring a velvety smooth structure. The mid-palate opens to reveal complex notes of coffee and cocoa-butter, with a balanced alcohol level and a long, open, and attractive finish. This wine is both demure and sensuous, a fascinating and elegant nectar.
