Cos D`Estournel 1982

Currently owned by French entrepreneur Michel Reybier, Cos d`Estournel is the highly regarded wine producer situated in the Saint-Estèphe appellation of the Médoc. Most of its releases are high scorers among the critics, making it a particularly appealing wine for collectors and investors. This is the 1982 vintage of its Grand Vin, a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot. A pronounced bouquet boasting dark berries, tobacco and minerality sets the scene. The palate is beautifully layered, with a fresh dark fruit core, followed by crushed stones, herbs, tobacco and truffles.
