Cos D`Estournel 2004

Cos D`Estournel 2004 is a mature-vintage Left-Bank Bordeaux from the appellation of St-Estèphe. Named after its 19th-century owner, Louis-Gaspard d`Estournel, the Second Growth Cos d`Estournel is the leading estate in St-Estèphe. The wines of the estate tend to include a relatively high proportion of Merlot, however they remain defined by their power, structure and longevity. "A beautiful example of the vintage, proprietor Michel Reybier and his top-notch winemaker, Jean-Guillaume Prats, have fashioned an exceptional wine displaying a dense ruby/purple color as well as a sweet perfume of boysenberries, black currants, cherries, pain grille, roasted herbs, and licorice. Medium-bodied with impressive density for the vintage, sweet tannin, and outstanding richness and length, it should be at its finest between 2009 and 2020+." Robert Parker, 2007
