| Description: | 97 Jd / 96 Wa / 96 Wci / 95 Vm / 95 Ws / 18.5 Jr. I loved this bottle of 1982 Cos d'Estournel, and it was easily the best bottle I've had of this wine.It shows classic, even youthful notes of lead pencil, currants and saddle leather, was full-bodied, had beautiful depth of fruit, and a great, great finish, all pointing to a fully mature yet grand Saint Estephe. - Jeb Dunnuck. The 1982 Cos d'Estournel dominates Saint-Estèphe in this vintage (for my money, its leading competitor is Haut-Marbuzet, by the way). Remarkably youthful and saturated in appearance, it exhibits inviting aromas of sweet berry fruit, plums, licorice and pencil shavings, followed by a full-bodied, fleshy, lusty, almost unctuous palate of notable concentration and depth. Its fleshy core of fruit is still framed by sweet, powdery tannins. Tasted Dec 2022. --William Kelley, The Wine Advocate A superb, fully-mature example of a fabulous Left Bank Bordeaux. Loads of red currants, Indian spice, cigar box, and cedar with leafy herbs are all over the place on the nose and on the generous, refined palate. No need to decant, just pop, pour and enjoy. Drink from 2022-2030.-Jeff Leve, Wine Cellar Insider, tasted 11/22 |
