Château Cos d’Estournel is a Second Growth Bordeaux property in the St-Estèphe appellation with a long and distinguished history. The 1986 is a wonderful vintage and should be approaching somewhere near its peak drinking window. It is a blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc, aged in 90% new oak.

The 1986 Cos d’Estournel replicates the performance from my 30-year on tasting that I conducted a few months back. The bouquet is attractive with mint and juniper berries that grab the attention of the olfactory senses, later accompanied by liquorice and graphite. The palate is understated on the entry but then builds in the mouth with wonderful spice and black pepper infused black fruit that form the foundation of this Cos d’Estournel. Sure, it feels masculine and structured on the finish and perhaps translates more the growing season that Saint-Estèphe. Yet it is very well crafted and should continue to drink well for another decade. Tasted at the Cos d’Estournel vertical at the property.Neal Martin23rd December 2024
