Cos D`Estournel 1989

Cos d`Estournel 1989 is a mature-vintage Left-Bank Bordeaux from the appellation of St-Estèphe. Named after its 19th-century owner, Louis-Gaspard d`Estournel, the Second Growth Cos d`Estournel is the leading estate in St-Estèphe. The wines of the estate tend to include a relatively high proportion of Merlot, however they remain defined by their power, structure and longevity. "This was a high point. sweet, round and gorgeous on the nose then smoky and rich and thoroughly hedonistic on the palate. Gamey but not over the top because there is a massive undertow of concentrated fruit. Sweet finish." Jancis Robinson MW, 2015
