Chateau Cos D'estournel

1996 Saint-Estephe Red Blend

Chateau Cos D'Estournel is a stunning red blend from the esteemed Saint-Estèphe region, showcasing the elegance and power of a truly remarkable vintage. With its deep, inviting red color, this wine reveals a bouquet of dark fruit aromas intertwined with whispers of tobacco, cedar, and soft spices, creating an alluring olfactory experience. On the palate, it is full-bodied and lush, balanced by a good level of acidity that adds vibrancy and freshness. The tannins are notably structured, providing a firm backbone that complements the wine's rich fruit intensity, making it both expressive and refined. This exquisite offering is wonderfully dry, allowing the complex flavors to shine without distraction, and it embodies the classic characteristics that define great wines from Saint-Estèphe.
