Infos produit

The 1976 vintage is a remarkable vintage because it was a particularly hot year, even scorching. The 1976 Château Cos d'Estournel is excellent, with lots of fruit and interesting complexity. Elegant, the Cos d'Estournel 1976 is a surprise and allows you to discover a little more about the world of grands crus classés.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

(01-1998) One of the better 1976s, Cos d'Estournel somehow succeeded in avoiding the feebleness and fragile character of many of the wines from this early maturing vintage. Now fully mature, but in no danger of collapse, this wine has a complex bouquet of red berry fruit, spices, and toasty oak.

3 / 5

Michael Broadbent

(06-1988) A good '76. Agreeable weight and flavour.
