Cos d’Estournel 2016 – Bordeaux 

The nose is aromatic and offers freshness as well as a small concentration. It reveals notes of lemon, ripe grapefruit and more slightly ripe nectarine associated with fine touches of ripe clementine as well as discreet hints of white flowers and crunchy William pear. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, elegant and offers a beautiful acidulous frame, suavity, a good definition, a good precision, a beautiful fat, energy and tension. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy/crunchy pear, ripe lemon and more slightly clementine associated with small touches of ripe grapefruit, discreet hints of ripe/toasted hazel nut as well as a very discreet hint of pineapple, bee wax (in the background) and an imperceptible iodine hint (in the background). Good length.
