Chateau Cos d'Estournel 2eme Cru 2001 Magnum in 6er Holzkiste

Lobenberg: Dunkle Farbe, schwarze Reflexe, im Stil der letzten Jahre von Cos. Recht dicht, balanciert, ausreichende Tiefe, Schwarzbeeren und Maulbeere, ein Hauch schwarze Oliven, etwas Teer, nicht ganz groß, aber ein sehr guter Wein! 92-93/100

Parker: The 2001 Cos d'Estournel is blended of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Merlot—a very high percentage of Merlot in this vintage and a very late harvest, which started on October 1st. Deep garnet in color, the nose is singing with savory notes of smoked meats, tapenade, bay leaves and beef drippings with a core of plum preserves, redcurrant jelly, dried cherries and baked blackcurrants with wafts of peppermint tea and dried roses. Medium-bodied, the palate practically tingles with vibrant dried herbs, red fruit preserves and minty notes, structured with firm, finely grained tannins and fantastic freshness, finishing very long and minerally. 94/100 (2018)

James Suckling: Velvety textured with soft and silky tannins and a chocolate, meat and berry character. Full and round. Slightly forgotten and delicious. 93/100 (2015)
