Lot #1721. Cos d'Estournel 2008

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 96 WA.
"This is a great wine from Jean-Guillaume Prats and tasted alongside the gestating 2009 at the chateau, guess which one I preferred? The 2008 has a wonderful, life-affirming bouquet: very pure and refined, great precision with blackberry, bilberry, briary, a touch of wild hedgerow and graphite. The palate is medium-bodied, very well balanced with slightly brittle tannin on the entry, the Cabernet Sauvignon (85%) firmly in the driving seat. Great clarity and focus towards the almost Pauillac like finish soaked in mineralité, this wine is brilliantly realized." Neal Martin, Wine Journal, Jan 2011
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $160
