The dark ruby-colored 1999 Cos is a supremely elegant effort. The wine offers notes of dried Provencal herbs, smoke, licorice, black cherries, and cassis...

...Wild aromas of redcurrant, minerals, leather, gunflint and game; developing faster than either of the more recent vintages are likely to do. A wine of modest density and fat...

Smells of smoke, licorice, cherries and cassis.
It's got body. Not much but hay it's there.
It is lacking the depth I was hopping for.
There is a dark red color to it.

Good classic claret. Interesting vintage for bordeaux but this wine delivers. The nice cherry and light blackberry flavors roll over the palate carased in a velvet wrapper of tobacco and spice. The fruit has somewhat faded on this wine but it still stands true. Worth the taste! |
About 1999 Cos d'Estournel Bordeaux Blend
About the Winery Cos d'Estournel
"Château Cos d'Estournel, acknowledged to be the most outstanding cru of St Estephe, is certainly the most spectacular edifice to grace the commune's vineyards. Surprisingly not a residence but a chais, its oriental facade is adorned with three pagoda turrets, all cast in a soft golden sandstone. Overlooking the border between Pauillac and St Estephe, and the vineyards of Lafite-Rothschild, from the crest of its gravellous slope, this rather fantastic piece of architecture is a fitting monument to its wines...a very strong aristocratic and exotic personality, uplifted by very contemporary wines which can hold up to 40% merlot (very rare in Médoc) and enjoy a tailored ageing in new oak barrels. The result is highly audacious, extremely generous, ripe, long and spicefull.." www.cosestournel.com
About the Wine
"A vintage marked by a great lack of water in summer and by harvesting carried out in ideal conditions.
A very intense colour, hardly developed. A complex bouquet which reveals little; spices, liquorice, cedar wood. The structure of delicate tannins is enormous, the flesh is full and rich. Very long in the mouth. A virile wine, a wine with a future which can develop in the cellar over many long years, but which may, even so, be drunk as from today.
68% Cabernet Sauvignon
30% Merlot
2% Cabernet Franc
90% New oak barrels"
