Michael Schuster: Dense, currently wood-dominated on the nose, but clearly very ripe fruit behind; rich, generous, powerful wine with abundant tannin that is well masked by the fruit matter and not astringent or excessive; that said, a faintly raisiny warmth of flavor, moderate complexity, but considerable power in the Bordeaux context; very good, slightly bitter, raisiny fruit persistence. Tiring! Like the Cos itself, good—of its type; but you have to like that type, where a touch of alcohol fierceness, hardness, burn is almost inescapable. 2017–30. 15.5/16
