Cos d'Estournel 2000

Parker: Blended of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc, the 2000 Cos d'Estournel is deep garnet in color with a touch of brick and sporting a lot of tertiary evolution on the nose. It leaps from the glass with opulent sandalwood, Chinese five spice, cigar box and leather scents over a core of prunes, baked cherries, dried mulberries and eucalyptus plus a touch of potpourri. Medium-bodied, the palate is laden with fragrant fruitcake and exotic spice layers, framed by wonderfully plush tannins and a refreshing line, finishing with an exhilarating menthol lift. Drink Date: 2018 - 2035. 97/100

Falstaff: Kräftiges Rubingranat, zarte Randaufhellung. Einladend, zarte Lakritzenote, dunkle Beerenfrucht, Orangenzesten, exotische Nuancen, Weichselfrucht, etwas Tabak und Nougat. Saftig und rund, zart nach Bitterschoko, harmonisch, im Finish leicht adstringent, ein hervorragender Speisenbegleiter mit guter Zukunft.
