The 2018 Cos dEstournel Blanc is a large step up from the Pagodes de Cos Blanc
but the wine is exceptionally beautiful and polished from the very first taste
smoked meats and underbrush that continue to change and develop in the glass
The majority of aging takes place in large
The 2004 Brut Cristal has put on quite a bit of weight since I first tasted it earlier this year
Sloan, Proprietary Red other_regions The 2018 Cos dEstournel BlancDeep garnet purple colored, the 2014 Proprietary Red needs a little coaxing to reveal slowly unfurling notions of warm black cherries, mulberries, redcurrants and blackberry compote with touches of licorice, tapenade, chargrill and scorched earth. Full bodied, firm, grainy and packed with layers of black fruits and savory flavors, it has a firm, grainy backbone of very ripe tannins and tons of vivacity, finishing very long.
