2014 | Château Cos d'Estournel Saint-Estèphe | Saint-Estèphe Gattinara mocha and underbrush waft outIf you want to know what St. Estphe smells like, this is it. Aromas of spices, black truffles, forest floor, dried strawberries and tar. Its full bodied yet pinpointed on the palate with fabulous density and richness. Its opulent but in a reserved and checked way. This needs at least five or six years to come around, but its already fantastic. What harmony and structure. 98 Pts James Suckling
