Château Cos d'Estournel Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 1978

Andrew Steffensmeier

Wow. This was THE perfect bottle. Very complex in all phases. Fruits still lush. Tannins resolved. Hints of leathers, spices, dust. It felt so young and packed with flavor while remaining elegant and light on its feet. Actually left some for a second night and it was still beautiful and alive. And so fun to be caught off guard by allure and intrigue.

A bit past it’s prime but really good

Marc vanholst

After 40 years still standing upright.

Bryana Howe

faint notes of tobacco, a light wine with scant leather. higher acid than usual, very minute in the scheme of things.

Jake Kimar

Dark fruits, dusty tannins, lively and focused on the palate. Not bad for 38 years young.

Conrad Green

Lovely clarity and a gorgeous nose. Leather, red fruit. Decent fruit on the mid palate. A touch of sour cherry. Very good. A well-kept bottle. Dries a touch on the finish. Dusty tannins
