Description

1982 Chateau Cos d'Estournel Saint Estephe 750ml.


Rated:96 points Robert Parker: "Like many 1982s, Cos d'Estournel was more flattering, opulent, and softer to drink in its youth than it is today. This estate tends to make a more elegant style of Bordeaux, but the 1982 is atypically thick, super-concentrated, rich, and powerful. Although approachable and even delicious if decanted an hour or more before serving, the wine reveals no signs of age in its opaque dark ruby/purple color. The tannin is more aggressive, but the wine still reveals that fabulous inner-core of sweet, jammy, blackcurrant and black-cherry fruit. There is considerable glycerin and body in this still youthful but immensely promising example of Cos d'Estournel. It has at least 20 years of life remaining."


95 points from the Wine Spectator.
