Chateau Cos d'Estournel, Saint-Estephe, France 2009 Cotes de Castillon wine simply doesn't get anyDeep garnet colored, the 2009 Cos d'Estournel features a myriad of wonderfully intense notes, including blackcurrant pastilles, redcurrant jelly, kirsch and blueberry compote with hints of rose hip tea, sauted herbs, underbrush, pencil shavings and Indian spices. Full bodied, rich and opulently fruited in the mouth, it has beautifully plush tannins and fantastic freshness, finishing very long and very spicy. 100 Pts Robert Parker
