Château Cos d'Estournel St-Estephe Medoc Bordeaux, 1986

Product Details

Product Description

Second Growth. Deuxieme Grand Cru Classe in 1855. Critic tasting note: "Like many Bordeaux wines from 1986, this is a tough, hard, style of wine that some people love, while others will find it difficult to enjoy. And of course there are also tasters that recognize this is not their style of wine, but it has a wealth of fruit. Count me in as a charter member of group number 3. Does it have enough fruit to outlast the tannins before maturity? It will take at least 10-20 years more time to find. The wine offers massive concentration from ripe fruit. Butt the wine lacks elegance and charm. It's a beast. For me, while I get the depth of flavor, at the end of the day, it was not a lot of fun to drink." - <i>90/100</i>, <i>Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider</i>
