Château Cos d'Estournel Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

David Kline

Rim to rim no waver. Slightest bricking. Nose of earth, chocolate, cedar, violet. Palate showing grainy tannins and bing cherry shrouded in black currant with red currant emergent. Black mushrooms have a showy cameo with a chocolate-tobacco high kick. The wine is slightly green and just slightly aggressive though thoroughly enjoyable in every sense. Give this one a couple more years, even if most 10s are showing. Enormous energy with black cherry riding out the sunset. #ChsteauCosdEstournel #cosdestournel #SaintEstéphe #leftbank #bordeauxrouge #bordeaux #deuxiemecru

Cherry,dried and black; scribbles of graphite in a tinder box. Campfire smoke, and dark tobaccos brood in clusters of black currant. Glints of plum skin and baked raspberries. Cinnamon and cedar shavings. Dried cherry and black berries persist into the palate, with green peppercorns and dried violets dusted in graphite. Smoke snakes around black bread with currants, fig and black raisins. A phenomenal fall treat. That’ll do the trick! #chateauCosdEstournel #cosdestournel #saintestèphe #saintestephe #appellationsaintestèphecontrôlée #2010bordeaux #2010 #misenbouteilleálapropriété #Bordeaux #bordeauxrouge #deuxiemecru

Nano hazelnut chocolate on coffee rye, blackened sponge cake, well done steak, black sesame, lavender and baked blackberry. Well knit. Graphite glimmers on dark chocolate and cedar-oak slivers, smoky tobacco leaf, and tea. Immersive. #cosdestournel #grandcruclassé #bordeaux #stestephe #appellationsaintestephecontrolée #misenbouteilleauchateau #saintestèphe

Voluptuous ~ great length, intense fruit, and cacao finish

James Forsyth

Dark and beguiling. Slightly wild. Touch of spice. Plenty of dark fruit. Tanins now attractively supple. Very tasty. Great for right now.

Lovely bottle bouquet. Resolved. Not a lot of fruit. V. astringent. Subtle angular red fruit.

2010. Very dry tannins, assertive, plum, black cherry, mildly smoky. More aggressive than elegant. #FancyWine

It's classic. Berries, leather, pencil shavings, wet earth. Drink me now or later.

#epic #vintage that will require patience to enjoy it's full potential, deep dark purple core, ripping acidity, full body, just ripe black and blue fruit.
