Lot 121 Details
CHÂTEAU COS D'ESTOURNEL 1986

Saint-Estèphe. 2ième Cru Classé
u. 2 x bn. 1 x peeling label. 2 x scraped labels. 1 x scraped capsule.

The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, savory and almost meaty on the mouth, nicely balanced and then...BAM! There's a real spicy, black pepper kick on the finish originating from the Cabernet Sauvignon. It does not possess the structure or persistence of the greatest 1986s, rather a Claret that I know would just shine and complement dishes at the dinner table. Drinking perfectly now, this Cos d'Estournel has another 15-20 years to offer. Tasted July 2016. WA 92

2 bts.    per lot $400 - $600

Realised: $618
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
