Chateau Cos d'Estournel G d'Estournel Medoc Bordeaux France 2019 (13.5% ABV) — 88
AJ | Dark black-red though not opaque. Rough and ready aromas with some vegetal warmth. Exuberant but unrefined. The palate, too, is relatively unpolished, energetic, darting, driven by the curling acid energy of the vintage. Alert and vibrant Medoc.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2029. 87
MS | Quite Merlot-blackberry to smell, persistent in the glass; medium full with a nice concentration, a fresh to lively defining acidity and a still firmish tannin; elegant, restrained, ripely juicy blackberry fruit to taste with a nice length of flavour and aftertaste. Very satisfying, gently succulent. Good already, will keep well.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2034+. 89
