". . . freshens up with aeration with red-berried fruits, hedgerow, cigar box and a touch of tomatoe! The palate is impressive with succulent black fruits, spice, leather and raisin. Very harmonious and focused, a testament to the longevity of this estate. There remains a core of ripe wild strawberry and raspberry with a tantalizing prickle on the finish. Very crisp and with superb definition, this is a great Cos dâEstournel."
