Description
Blended of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc, the deep garnet-purple colored 2009 Cos d'Estournel takes a little coaxing to encourage the full array of exotic spices and decadent black fruits to emerge here: crème de cassis, baked plums, blueberry compote and Black Forest cake intermingled with star anise, fenugreek, cumin seed and Sichuan pepper plus wafts of menthol, violets and smoked meats. Wow—the full-bodied palate bursts with powerful, hedonic black fruit preserves and spices, completely coating the mouth with decadent fruits that are perfectly framed by very firm yet very ripe, grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing with a veritable firework display of floral, spice and red fruit notes. Just stunning.

Tasting note
2009年的愛詩圖爾展現了聖愛斯特弗的宏偉。這款酒擁有深紅寶石色澤，緩慢展開其複雜的香氣，包括黑加侖子醬、烤李子和藍莓泥，並帶有星茴香、胡蘆巴和四川胡椒的異國情調。口感上，它提供了黑色水果醬和香料的強烈表達，由堅實、成熟的單寧和清新的大膽感所框架。開瓶醒酒兩小時，充分欣賞其豪華風格，並與烤羊肉或牛肉紅酒燉菜等豐盛菜餚搭配，享受真正奢華的體驗。
The 2009 Chateau Cos d'Estournel is a testament to the grandeur of Saint-Estephe. This wine, with its deep garnet-purple hue, unfolds slowly, revealing a complex bouquet of crème de cassis, baked plums, and blueberry compote, all laced with an exotic mélange of star anise, fenugreek, and Sichuan pepper. On the palate, it offers a powerful expression of black fruit preserves and spices, framed by firm, ripe tannins and a refreshing boldness. Decant for two hours to fully appreciate its opulence and pair with hearty dishes like roast lamb or beef bourguignon for a truly indulgent experience.
