A lovely wine. For me a perfect Cos, even from the start. This is what a claret is all about. Drink now or keep it five-ten years.

A fully mature Cos at its prime; delicious to drink with seamless texture and velvety tannins. Several different bottles opened in one evening prove this is a solid Cos that is the epitome of its 'old style' when subtlety was prized more than power.

Dark, rich and deeply concentrated. California-like, with its opulent coffee, herb, cedar, currant, coffee, mineral and spice flavors. Reaching a nice drinking plateau, but has substance, depth and a long, full finish.

Fully developed, the nose, with its spice box, tobacco leaf, forest floor, and cigar wrapper calls your name. Medium-bodied, fresh, vibrant, round, and packed with dark currants and red plums, this is ready to go. If you have a bottle, there is no reason to hold this any longer. It will not improve.

Medium ruby, ripe tones. Open on the nose and wonderfully fragrant with cedar wood, tobacco, spices, herbs. Soft and accessible on the palate, medium body, very fine, melted tannins, the fruit seems warm and ripe, with a lot of spice on the finish. A mature Cos that is currently a lot of drinking fun and should maintain its plateau for a few more years. Enjoy until 2026.

Tasted at the Cos d’Estournel dinner at St. John. Compared to the ’82, this is obviously lighter and less complex, aromas of smoky bacon crisps, chestnut, charcoal and autumn bonfire. A little dusty but it has good definition. Medium-bodied on the palate, very smooth, much fleshier than the ’86, very seductive although it does not aspire to be an intellectual wine. Yet it has that caressing texture, touches of wild strawberry, liquorice and saddle-leather towards the finish and a dash of white pepper on the aftertaste. A comely Saint Estephe, although it will not get any better.

Medium carmine garnet, wide ochre rim. Delicate wild berry fruit on the nose, a hint of dried plums, some orange zest, rather restrained bouquet, with air delicate malty-lactic notes. Juicy, powerful on the palate, again some roasted plums, firm tannins that give the wine body, heart cherries on the finish, fresh, balanced overall expression.
