Chateau Cos D'Estournel 1996 St Estephe 2eme Grand Cru Classe


From the very good 1996 vintage and scoring 93/100 Parker points this wonderful red wine "possesses an opaque purple color, as well as pure aromatics consisting of cassis, grilled herbs, coffee, and toasty new oak. Massive in the mouth, and one of the most structured and concentrated young Cos d'Estournels I have ever tasted, this thick, structured, tannic wine has closed down significantly since bottling. It requires 7-8 years of cellaring, and should last for 30-35 years. It is a fabulous Cos, but patience is required. " Drink 2006 – 2030. This wine is shipped in a presentation wooden box with a silk liner.
