2014 | Château Cos d'Estournel Saint-Estèphe | Saint-Estèphe Lemelson Vineyards and no one element overshadows

and no one element overshadows the other

A really expressive Scheurebe

with pungent red cherry showing an almost liqueur-like sweetness but without any impression of heaviness

the Gigglepot’s delicate tannins show restraint allowing the fruit spectrum to shine

some nuts (pecan) and a volatile twist with great freshness

2014 | Château Cos d'Estournel Saint-Estèphe | Saint-Estèphe Lemelson Vineyards and no one element overshadowsIf you want to know what St. Estphe smells like, this is it. Aromas of spices, black truffles, forest floor, dried strawberries and tar. Its full bodied yet pinpointed on the palate with fabulous density and richness. Its opulent but in a reserved and checked way. This needs at least five or six years to come around, but its already fantastic. What harmony and structure. 98 Pts James Suckling
