Wine Spectator November - 1998
Wine Spectator
This powerhouse is rather traditional and decadent compared to the modern-day wines from Cos. Ink-colored and full-bodied, with ripe fruit aromas, velvety tannins and intense berry and spice flavors.

Needed 20 minutes or so to open up, but very good. Nuanced and balanced; not a ton of power or fruit. More secondary flavors, but well done. Starting to show its age a bit, but still a fine showing. Popped and poured

The color was definitely bricking. This earthy scented wine was light on the fruit in the nose and palate. Hints of under ripeness. The finish was chalky and not very interesting. This has already started to fade.

Dark color, medium intensity and evolved. Spicy and somewhat tired nose. Curry note. The palate is certainly full-bodied, but the finish dries out. In its current state, should have been drunk.

Mid blueish crimson with a pale rim. Looks so much younger than the 1989 and 1990 tasted alongside! Nicely evolved. The nose recalls the 1998 tasted earlier. Manages to be both fresh and fleshy (whereas so many bordeaux 1988s are a bit austere). Well done. Nervy but not skinny. Very 'correct'. Clean and fresh. A certain sweetness at first and then still a little chewy but that just serves to keep it refreshing. Quite long.

The grape variety composition is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and a few percent Cabernet Franc. The vines, spread across thirty plots and averaging 35 years in age, are planted in high density at 9000 vines/ha. Only plants over twenty years old will be used for the first wine.
