2014 | Château Cos d'Estournel Saint-Estèphe | Saint-Estèphe Lemelson Vineyards 14% alcohol and more in

14% alcohol and more in the style of the 2020

some nuts (pecan) and a volatile twist with great freshness

I'd wait a little longer for this

destemmed and barrel-aged for about 18 months

with pungent red cherry showing an almost liqueur-like sweetness but without any impression of heaviness

2014 | Château Cos d'Estournel Saint-Estèphe | Saint-Estèphe Lemelson Vineyards 14% alcohol and more inIf you want to know what St. Estphe smells like, this is it. Aromas of spices, black truffles, forest floor, dried strawberries and tar. Its full bodied yet pinpointed on the palate with fabulous density and richness. Its opulent but in a reserved and checked way. This needs at least five or six years to come around, but its already fantastic. What harmony and structure. 98 Pts James Suckling
