2000 Chateau cos d'estournel

[TheEngineer]

This rather large wine is still very tight night now. Of course with some decanting, its opens up but it seems muted and reserved. It is still a lovely wine thought.

Nose is reserved but very bordeaux: dark fruits, black berries, red berries, , tobacco, cedar and hints of graphite. This wine is dense and structured. Super nice finish but tannins still evident (though not in a bad way). still a bit grippy. Not a bad time to try it but a good future.
