Château Cos d'Estournel, Ch. Cos d`Estournel 1981

82 / 100 Robert Parker
This lean, moderately tannic, medium-bodied wine displays an attractive light perfume of berries, earth, and spices. In the mouth, there is adequate fruit, high acidity, and moderate tannins in the finish. It should easily last for 7-8 years, but will it improve? I would opt for drinking it now.

A big, chewy traditional Bordeaux. Dense red color; green tobacco, prune and berry character. Full-bodied and thick with a chewy, slightly dry finish. Drink now.
