CHÂTEAU COS D'ESTOURNEL 1986 (1)
Saint-Estèphe. 2ième Cru Classé
u. bn. scraped, peeling & marked label. scraped capsule.
The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, savory and almost meaty on the mouth, nicely balanced and then...BAM! There's a real spicy, black pepper kick on the finish originating from the Cabernet Sauvignon. It does not possess the structure or persistence of the greatest 1986s, rather a Claret that I know would just shine and complement dishes at the dinner table. Drinking perfectly now, this Cos d'Estournel has another 15-20 years to offer. Tasted July 2016. WA 92
