Chateau Cos D'Estournel 1998

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (88)

Bottled in April, 2000, this elegant, stylish, graceful wine is an attractive, dark ruby/purple-colored effort with subtle notes of sweet oak, licorice, herbs, and black fruits. While not massive, it is medium-bodied and ripe, with sweet tannin. Forty-eight percent of the production was utilized in this blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot.

Winespectator (87)

Gorgeous spice, berry and cherry aromas. Medium- to full-bodied, with plenty of good fruit and medium tannins, but a slightly hollow midpalate.

A delicious bottle showing a spicy and slightly herbal character on both the nose and palate with hints of currants and dried fruits. Full and soft with velvety tannins.
